[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, it would be more polite to switch to English when you are over at someone’s house or when you’re out with friends who do not speak English. But in this case, you need to decide if it’s more important to be 100% polite or to teach and reinforce your native language. In case of your husband, let it be mutual decision, if your husband is ok with you speaking always with your kids in your native language, then that’s fine. If he prefers, you can switch to English when he’s around. [/quote] Her kids are little and it will take less time to get the kids on board with speaking the language to her if she goes all in at first. If she switches to english when around other people, it will take much longer, if they go back to speaking it at all. This is the critical time, but it won't always be like this. [/quote]
