[quote=Anonymous]My father and step mom raised my half-brother both speaking the same foreign language. At about age 9 I noticed he wasn't saying all that much to them. They had the no English at home rule but the problem was with English school and English after-school babysitter, he just wasn't fluent enough to express himself at that age. So they dropped the no English at home and allowed him to respond back in English. That improved communication but alas he did not retain the 2nd language fully fluently. He still speaks it and it improves every time he goes to the foreign country but he's not 100% fluent. I've seen many families do it successfully however. You have ot watch your child and see.
