[quote=Anonymous]Keeping up a minority language certainly is an effort. There is no real magic to it, other than keep at it. Your sister (and your parents) should only speak to your nephew in their home language, even if they are around people that do not speak/understand your home language. It helps if the family language is the minority language as well. Your sister can try ignoring if she is being spoken to in English. I rarely do. Instead, I repeat in my native language and move on. As for the food, just feed him what your sister cooks for the family, but make sure that there is one thing that your nephew will eat. If you are Asian, maybe egg-fried rice. If you are Middle Eastern, maybe pita with hummus. (Apologies in advance if anyone found this generalization offensive.) [/quote]
