[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most Americans don’t speak their “heritage” language. I don’t speak German or French, the languages of some of my ancestors. It’s ok. It happens eventually to almost everyone. [/quote] That's very different and you know it. [/quote] NP, and not sure how this would be any different pp. The only difference is number of generations. I am from a different country, came to the US as an adult, and I made sure my kids speak my language. For this, we went every single summer back home, and spent Saturdays in a language school here. We also speak at home. And it still is very challenging. But, I don’t know if they’ll be able to pass it on to their own kids, or their kids to their grandkids. The effort increases exponentially as ties get weaker, their knowledge of the language is worse than mine who grew up in the country, families grow up with generations, etc. [/quote]
