We had two sons.  Sami Sarhon was born in Istanbul, on 3 March 1951 and  Jozi Yusuf Sarhon was also born in Istanbul on 5 May 1958.  Nowadays we always speak Turkish with our children but when they were little we used to speak to them in French.  Then when they started school, they had some difficulties with Turkish so we started speaking Turkish, too.  We did not want them to have a difficult life in school because they did not speak Turkish properly.  So it was Turkish after that.  That is why they do not know the language that we also use, Ladino, very well.
