Advice on passing on your native language to your children while raising them in a Foreign country.

Hello.

I'm a German citizen who has been raised in India for a lot of my life and I'm not fluent in German, due to my parents not teaching me German and my schools not offering German.

However, unlike me, I have heard of other people who have been raised in foreign countries their whole life and are fluent in their native languages and I was hoping to come across someone with that experience here and ask how they were able to learn and maintain their native language in a foreign country where your native language isn't taught or used at all.

I don't have children yet, but it would be helpful to have some advice from people here because I would want my children to know German as well as English, in the event that I have to live in a foreign country for a prolonged period of time.
