German/English household in the Netherlands. Three languages, two children (8 and 11). How do you structure time without any language losing ground?

One parent, one language at home. German with Dad, English with Mum. Dutch as the environment language.

Formal lessons in the weaker language only. The dominant language maintains itself through life. Protect the minority language first.

Subject allocation: maths and science in English, literature and history in German. Languages develop different vocabulary registers naturally.
