Prospective Studies...

Here's a taste of what I want to teach and study with my child and any future babies of mine! It may be a lot, but this is over a lifetime of studying @ home. You know, 18 years or so! It's also not etched in stone...I'm completely flexible (on some things!). Now provided that all the basics are covered, I definitely want any kids of mine to learn the following...

Oh yeah, anything in blue will be taught completely outside of the home if provided by someone else. If purple, it will be be taught at-home partially by me.

French oui oui is about all I know as of yet, but I plan to at least take a beginner class while in college
Hebrew (for our Christian studies) we can learn this together
Kreyol- Although it's native to Haiti, I hope it's closely related to the Creole language of Louisiana (I need to research that)
