[quote=Anonymous]I speak to children out home language, so it was their first language. We also go back home for the summers so they pick it up there more. And this is where the interest is also coming from - so that they can interact and play with kids there. They also go to in person classes, but that’s just so they know the basics. Last year it was online, but now they are back to f2f classes. Most kids attending have 1 or 2 parents from the home country, some speak it at home and so do not or very limited. I push them to go to the language school, similar to going to regular school. If they had an option, they’d choose not to. It’s not a “fun” extracurricular like soccer or basketball. It’s not a must op, we all balance priorities and make hard choices. Don’t do it, just because you see your friends do it. If you think it’s useful and beneficial for your children, then go ahead.
