[quote=Anonymous]Honestly it pains me to say it but we opted out of the whole language thing for our DC. Once the native speaker link is broken it takes an almost herculean effort to get language to stick in the next generation. The amount of devotion to the effort would have severely limited other things that we find important in life and the cost/benefit was too much. I am definitely sad about that but really the break happened before me when my family didn’t fully immerse me in the language at home even though they could have. Now I am not fluent even though I understand a lot of it but fluency is the real connection to any culture. We still belong to cultural social groups but no we are not fully connected the way that we could be if we were all fluent. [/quote]
