[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Hi OP, Is this a sudden development or was it a gradual transition? Were your kids ever willing to speak your language. Have they ever been able to memorize rhymes? What about when the older one was an only child? What you are describing is something where you are teaching an ES kid a new language, not a situation where your kids already have a familiarity with your native language. [/quote] Its like the other poster said - when they were younger they used to speak my language. Then after going to school, they don't want to use our language. They understand some of it but not all. Our problem is even when we go overseas, the grandparents and relatives speak with them in English to make them feel comfortable, so they are not even trying to speak the language even when overseas.[/quote]
