[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Due to many reasons, my son cannot speak our home language. He is born here, and he does not get much exposure with kids from our heritage. He is not much intereated in our hertiage's language, food and culture. Our school amd neighborhood are like 70% white. I have enrolled him in weekend classes that teacher and kids are all from same heritage, and he is the only kid that does not understand/ speak it. They adapt to him and all speak in English. I can tell that he feels insecure and uncomfortable with kids that look like him. Will constant exposure help? My another younger child has no problem interacting with kids look alike her even though she can't speak the language.

He has been forced by us to learn that language for 3 plus years through language school/1:1 online classes, and he still cannot pass the basic levels. [/quote]

How old is he now?

I don’t know where you are located, but maybe look at weekend language schools that have more third generation and mixed heritage kids. [/quote]
