Five-year-old Amber has been raised to speak Greek and Mandarin.
“I want her to understand both cultures,” her mother Nina Sventek says after dropping her off at Greek school in South Oakleigh, Melbourne.
Nina was born in China, while her husband Nick’s parents are Greek and Croatian.
“We’re close to both grandparents, and we enjoy both ways of living; the food, the community, the festivals,” she says.
