And whether she understood my telling her not to touch my child again in English doesn't make her being forceful and rude to a little girl excusable. But yes, I am learning German. And if being rude can be justified based on the language someone speaks then I guess my daughter will be taught many lessons on acceptance while living in this country. And yes, she is learning German as well.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06125955185187810622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717111131845300129.post-7132333490055963382014-10-20T04:01:33.479-07:002014-10-20T04:01:33.479-07:00Are you guys learning German?
