Language in multicultural households

Language is something that is fascinating to see unfold within multicultural households. Parents will often speak a bridge language, or one of the parents might not speak their mother tongue. What you then get is people who might be saying words that are familiar, but the meanings behind them are often not understood in the correct cultural context. And when you add kids to the mix who grow up with the bridge language as their first language, you end up with a true communication challenge within the household. I have personally experienced this growing up. And Namalee explains it so well from her point of view growing up.
