[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also think that there is a chance that DC can choose later on to pick up the language as a teen etc and would probably end up at roughly the same proficient that way without endless language school every saturday as a child.[/quote] Why can't the non-native English speaking parent just speak to the child in the other language at home?[/quote] I think a lot of parents (particularly when the mom speaks the other language) try this at home, but it's hard to keep up if the other parent's first language is English because family conversations often default to English. That was the case in my home, where my dad is a Native english speaker but my mom is not.[/quote]
