[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]when you are in the presence of English speakers? I speak my native language with my children when we are alone, but I find it awkward and impolite to speak it in the presence of my DH, friends, playground, etc. because we all also speak English. However, this has become a problem in raising bilingual children because they always respond in English to me. Would you find it rude if someone spoke a different language around you though everyone present speaks English?[/quote] It is not rude, it is the only way your kids will learn your language, and it’s totally common in most other places around the world from Europe to India to Africa and beyond.[/quote]
