[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think the issue is not that you aren’t familiar with your language anymore; the issue is that you started speaking English to your kids and it feels weird to switch. I have always spoken my native language to my kids and I would feel really weird to speak to them in English. On the other hand, I started speaking English with my husband when I met him and while we both understand and speak each other’s languages, it feels weird and unnatural to speak anything other than English. We are lucky that I understand what my husband says to our kids, he understands what I discuss with our kids and our kids speak 3 languages. It also helps that my kids spend 2-3 months a year in my country and very few people even understand English there. You just need to do it... from what I hear, you are lucky your daughter wants to challenge herself and speak your language with you... [/quote]
