[quote=Anonymous] Rules for fluency in other languages: 1. As little English at home as you possibly can - with homework and playdates in that language, you will speak it anyway. It will be your child's dominant language whatever you do! 2. Watch TV, movies, have playdates and read in the other language. 3. Go to a weekend school in that language, for written expression and grammar. Realistically, your child will be fluent in immersion languages (the country's language and/or the language of her school). It is your job to provide an immersion environment at home as well. This poses a particular problem for parents working full time, who have less time to converse with their kids. If you are in this situation, you can choose an au pair or nanny who speaks your language. [/quote]
