Decision making often requires discovering the cost-to-benefit ratio of different variables. Many times in life there is no perfect choice. Right now, we are weighing the costs and the benefits of where to do our langauge study of Portuguese. Mozambique offers the benefit of learning to speak the language with the right dialect and only having to move once. Brazil offers better language schools and being able to focus our time on our study and on our family.
Right now we are leaning towards Brazil because of the quality of the school we can attend and the ability to focus on fluency, not just survival in a foreign country. However, we can't afford to send our kids to international schools in Brazil. Which means we are considering putting our first grader, kindergartener, and preschooler in an all-Portuguese class where no English is spoken for a whole year.
So how crazy do you have to be for something this crazy to no longer seem crazy?
