It’s not a foreign language to Mia. She is multilingual. Just like her Dad.

Let me be clear (as if I haven't already)
Gemma and Gorka have said they have a rule that in the morning they expect Mia to speak ONLY in Spanish.
My opinion ( Not im right, they are wrong just my opinion which I'm allowed) would be to let her just pick it up as she goes casualy and without prompting or correcting if she slips into English it doesnt matter as she has all her life to be fluent, no rush or rules needed .
Rave thread or not, I get what you mean.
If Gemma had said that in the mornings they only have Spanish TV on then that would be fine, but as you said she said that it was Spanish only in the morning.
If Mia was being bought up multilingual, then Spanish would be spoken all the time and Spanish TV would be on whenever.
I understand that there has to be a balance in a multi cultural home with languages, but Gemma didn't explain it very well.
Mia did look uncomfortable having to say Gracias and it didn't look natrual for her when normally she doesn't seem to have a problem speaking when a phone is pointed at her, which is sad in itself and a whole other topic.
I would like to think that Gorka speaks to her in Spanish all the time and that she will be fluent in both languages, but as its not something she's shown then it appears that's not the case as Gemma will show her speaking all the time.
Each to their own in a mixed language home, but I do understand what you're trying to say

The bilingual children I have worked with in the past usually don’t need lessons in either language. It comes naturally to them. If they are home all day with a Spanish speaking Mum for example and have an English speaking father then they speak Spanish all day and then continue to converse in English in the evening as a family or vice versa, parents will often choose to send them to an English speaking school if the country of residence is Spanish speaking therefor their days are split between immersion in both languages.
Unfortunately Gorka is working away a lot whilst she is young and Gemma doesn’t appear to have much in the way of conversational Spanish and Mia spends the majority of her time with English speakers.
so while she may learn Spanish I don’t believe she will be naturally bilingual. I think it will be down to her having to study it.
my opinion based on work and travel -
Thanks cupcake love x
I don’t know why it irritates me so much but when she talks about stuff Gorka has said she puts on a voice and accent - I find it so rude! If I was telling somewhat what an Indian person said to me and did that I’d be called racist!
I dunno. I mock BIL and niece/nephews accents, and the kids mock mine. We're just from different parts of the UK. It's just jest.
Accents are weird. I have lived up north since I was 11 but I was born in the midlands. My old accent comes and goes according to my mood, who I am talking with (mainly parents) and what I am talking about. My husband always finds me amusing when I talk about my childhood and I regress to my old midlands accent.
My family is a mix of English, Australian and Scottish accents and we all do impressions of each other - all done with affection most of the time 
So they’re doing a reality tv show… She lives her life on Insta, surely there can’t be much more to it for a tv show?? 
What a bunch of sell outs, I would’ve never thought she’d do something like that

Come to the non rave threadSo they’re doing a reality tv show… She lives her life on Insta, surely there can’t be much more to it for a tv show??
It’s the same as in the style. Considering she is meant to be a do gooder such as animal lover and caring for the planet you wouldn’t think she’d go with a fast fashion brand
Can someone please link the non rave thread? Cheers

I started this rave thread, but she's really disappointing me lately.
At risk of being shot down in flames, I like them and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of them on the TV, soz
Me too! I love them!At risk of being shot down in flames, I like them and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of them on the TV, soz
Not like either of them to have no stories up. Might be time for baby to arrive.
Yeah, I was thinking it must be about that time. Hoping it all goes well for them
