Took Japanese in JC last time but now a bit rusty haha.
Spoke Japanese to DH to mask our conversations in front of DDs sometimes.They can understand Cantonese and Teochew so cannot use them if we want to have private conversations among ourselves.
DH knows a bit of German from watching German war movies. -
Your dh also know jap?! Wa.
I speak hokkien with dh for private conversation in front of kids. Slowly the kids decipher a bit here and there. Lol. -

Their Cantonese is 6/10 but still passable. -

Talking about Mandarin,DDs' Mandarin or Chinese have a long way to go.
But there is still lots of room for improvement for them.

Be careful when eating oyster when you’re pregnant. Undercooked or raw oysters can cause blood infection.
