[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the posters that at least one parent has to speak to the child in a native language at home. I have a friend who speaks to her child in her language at home, is fluent in English and a third language. Her son attends an immersion school for the third language and visits relatives every summer in mom's country of origin (dad is also fluent in the language). I think he'll likely have the most trouble with the written form of mom's native tongue, but that won't be a problem if he chooses move to a country where that language is spoken. He's facile in all three languages. He's in 4th grade and attends a public school btw.[/quote]
