[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop speaking English at home. Although I speak only English, my husband only speaks Spanish to the kids and requires that they respond in Spanish. When they speak English or use an English word even, he looks at them blankly and does not respond. If you keep using English with them, they are not going to really learn your language. We have plenty of books in Spanish and watch TV/movies in Spanish but that's just extra. It's the everyday interactions that lead to learning, not teaching.[/quote] Huh? Do you all never have family conversations if you only speak English? Do you understand Spanish and just don't really get in the conversation?[/quote]
