Angelina Jolie: We Won't Have a Typical American Family
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie don't want their kids to lose touch with their native cultures.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie don't want their kids to lose touch with their native cultures - and they will go great lengths to make sure they know their national histories.
Angelina Jolie's friend said that if there was one thing the Jolie-Pitt family was not going to be, it would the "typical American family".
"They've always said that they want their children to be citizens of the world and they're starting that education young. Angie wants her kids to grow up understanding the world they live in and she and Brad are starting where it counts - at home. It's definitely not your typical American family," the Mirror quoted the pal, as saying.
So each of Angelina's children - Maddox, Zahara, and Pax Thiem - will learn their native languages as well as histories of the countries they were born in.
"Angelina has decided she doesn't want her children to be just American kids. The children are being taught their own languages and about their own cultures as well. The most important thing is that Brad and Angelina make learning fun," the friend said.
"They are certain that all the kids will get enough exposure to American culture just by living in the US and interacting with other American kids at school."
