[quote=Anonymous]I grew up myself in bilingual household, so sharing my own and my kids experiences: Don’t speak English to your kids. I am ok if they respond in English, because they are just better at expressing themselves. Language school is great to give them basics to teach them to read and write. Don’t expect more. Also, from my and my kids experiences, the students speak mostly English among each other. Immersion helps the most, if you are able to spend time in your home country - a month or so, that may have lots of interaction. Read read read - which may not be so easy given that they also need to read in English, but it helps their vocabulary. Tv and YouTube help as well. It’s all phases. So persevere in speaking only your language with your kids, and something with sink in.[/quote]
