[quote=Anonymous]Fluency requires immersion, which you can’t provide. They will need to engage fluently for the rest of their lives, and they cannot with you or any other relatives, and will likely not choose to engage with each other. The only benefit I could see is it being a potential positive depending on their chosen career, but otherwise, what’s the benefit? It seems like a sacrifice more than anything else (their interests and desires, family time, etc.) Are there other ways you could encourage heritage that aren’t language-based? Food? Culture? Travel? I’d drop the guilt, give your kids the life and experience your parents moved here for you all to receive, and let it go! [/quote]
