<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Describing his, his wife's, and his three children's experiences as an American family settled in Germany, the author retraces the children's linguistic development,
which exemplifies the decisive influence of the language (s) spoken in school (English-German bilingualism) and, in the long term, by the parents at home (English by the father, French by the mother). A striking difference between countries of residence, due
apparently to their official approach to "foreigners," emerges from their experience: after moving to France and having a year of schooling there, the children "felt" French. But despite continuous residence in Germany, despite intense, early contact with
the German language and German playmates and classmates, and despite the fact that the three children are today partly perceived by their California relatives and by others as "German," they have never claimed to feel German or German-American. English rather
than German has become their main language, with French a close second.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

other types of mobile families (as I can attest!). It was suggested to me by a friend who saw it during an interesting reunion of expat children with a common Thailand experience in their childhoods.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have suggestions for literature on the linguistic practices of people who move frequently? I don't mean migrants necessarily, but rather people who move frequently throughout their lives, domestically, internationally. Such
as military families, or families of missionaries, or other groups who move every year or so.<o:p></o:p></p>
