English, German, Chinese valentines cards delivered to us from our daughter and received by us in Arabic... this is life as an expat in a city like Shanghai!
We realized that as a mixed nationality family , we sound like the tower of Babel at our dinner table: I speak with my daughter only English, her father speaks to her only German, my husband and I speak together only Arabic and we all speak to the baby sitter Chinese!
Yet somehow, no one is ever confused :) Happy early Valentines!!
