[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, we are bilingual and DS had significantly more trouble learning our native language than his siblings. However, since he's also more dogged at learning, he remembers a host of grammatical rules and details that his sister learned and then promptly forgot... so in the end, they both have mastery, but acquired in a different way. My point is, just because it's laborious at first, it doesn't mean your child can't reach advanced levels in a language! Frequent review and practice are key. [/quote] Spanglish speaking family here, and our ADHD daughter is FAR better than her neurotypical brother (who funny enough is more tan and has the more Latino name). In both Spanish and English, she just absorbs new vocabulary and picks up on grammar easily. I’m glad she’s a natural at it, because there’s no way she’d be good at languages if she had to sit down and learn grammar.[/quote]
