[quote=Anonymous]My kids are trilingual because DH and I always spoke our own language to the kids since they were born. I don’t know if the kids would be ok learning it now that are in elementary school. My kids only learned English when they started school at 3 (and even then it was only 3 hours per day). They were a little behind their peers until K or so, but my 8 year old now reads better than all her English only classmates and my 6 year old is on her way to do the same. DH and I speak English with each other, but never to the kids. You should start only allowing movies in your own language and start speaking with them ONLY your own language… perhaps get a nanny or an aupair that only speaks your language? Otherwise, I would relax and realize that this is not such a big deal… focus on sports or music perhaps[/quote]
