[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am a couple of generations removed from this situation. We spoke only English in my household growing up but my father spoke only his native language until he went to school (in English), and he ultimately lost nearly all of the native language--he can understand it but he can't produce much of it. I want to encourage you, though--our kid is 6 and has attended two years of immersion school in this language. And he is becoming quite adept in it. So I would say a. don't assume that your kids are past a window in which new language learning can occur relatively easily and b. even if you never introduce them to the language, don't worry too much--it may come back around in a generation or so. My dad loves to hear my kid speak. [/quote]
