A simple family. Just English is part of the school curriculum. Almost everyone knows, especially young people. I always wonder how my oldest son learned Chinese.
I also!
In winter we live in the city, in the summer and on weekends we come to the country house. Closer to nature. We can not consider a country house for permanent residence, because we work in the city. And the urban infrastructure is more suitable for medicine, education and cultural activities.
I talked about this here.

@Larisa Your eldest learned Chinese??? Here some people can't even speak English properly, like me!
Instead of using YOU, some people use YOUS... no reflection of their character, of course.
My late father in law used to say, If you shouted in English long enough, people from all over the world would understand you ...
