Since we live in an English speaking country, our familiy language is German but my husband speaks Estonian and I speak German with the children - I would say, we have OPOL and mL@H

Minority language only except when speaking directly to a non-minority language speaker. We would like to meet other German speakers who have children in the Denver area.

We speak mostly German with the children, although Richard and I almost always speak English with each other. This seems to work fine for us, especially, since the kids get a lot of German through books, tapes, and phone conversations with German relatives.
