I'm not sure why you're saying that like it's a good thing. That sounds horrible.
But I do agree with you. If by "southern Europe", GP meant Italy, I can definitely confirm what you're saying. Like many Romanians, I have family members in Italy and the children either don't speak Romanian at all or speak it quite badly.
- BlueTemplar 4y agoIt's just what it is, the society that we live in shapes even the adult us - so you better be very careful where you raise your children. (As young adults they will be always able to find themselves and pick a different path, but it's better if they don't start with an handicap in that society.) And yeah, it can be hard to strike the right balance - do these family members spend some effort to teach Romanian to their kids ?
