[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you expect your child to become fluent with 1-2 hours of language instruction? My kids are trilingual and “learn” Spanish at school (at a big 3). They can say a few words and understand a lot in Spanish because their other languages are also Latin languages, but they are not fluent in Spanish at all. On the other hand, they are 100% fluent in mom’s language and almost fluent in dad’s. I only speak in my native language to them and they speak to grandparents in tht language too. My older girls often speak my native language among themselves too (maybe 50% of the time English and 50% of the time my native language). They never went to school to learn it and never took classes. We spend a lot of time in my home country and that helps[/quote] What languages?[/quote]
