In Reply to: RE: Ana and Eva are taking the kids down to meet with the Monsignor today... posted by double28 on April 11, 2022 at 14:52:40:
...but years ago, during my brief time in the private sector, I worked for a consulting firm involving a LOT of international travel/clients. Americans ARE the "ignorant Americans". Oftentimes I was outright embarrassed. My German and French were "passable", but my international clients generally spoke "better" (more correct) American English than even I did. We (Americans) just expect everyone to accommodate us--not vice-versa--and they were paying me to be there in their country.
As I mentioned, Eva is a teacher, and her father Dmitry is a retired literature professor--fluent in 7 languages, so the kids/grandkids are fluent in English--which will serve them well, wherever they go or whatever they eventually do.
The kids are taking aptitude tests later this week to assess grade-level placement and should be starting school next week. Based on my limited interactions with them, I'm guessing that they're ahead of the curve for their ages.
