[quote=Anonymous]I am good friends with a woman who speaks with her children exclusively in her native language, a language I don’t speak. I don’t find it rude, but it can be awkward. she’s extremely open and quick to translate if there’s a need, although most times there’s no need. I can tell she yelling at her kid for not being nice to his sister or riding their bikes to close to the street. But I miss out on context and it does affect the flow of our conversation. I know her husband struggles a bit with the language, but he sees the value in them being fluent and having the connections to their culture. They seem to have worked it out and are happily married.
