[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I take it your DC is not yet talking. That's when it gets real. What you're doing now is fine but not going to cut it in a year. If you REALLY want DC to be bilingual, the ONLY way is to have a rule, zero English at home. Take it from me. [/quote] +1 Drop the English now! I have 2 teenagers and though not a word of English was spoken to them at home ever in their lives, English quickly became their dominant language once they started school. They are fluent in their home language, but are lacking in many technical terms, "school words" and formal grammar. Their writing in that language is not great. [/quote]
