[quote=Anonymous]Mom of bilingual kids here. Like several pp's have mentioned, it only makes sense to pick a language that you can support. And by support I don't mean that you actually need to speak the language yourself. DH and I are monolingual, but our kids are bilingual. I chose Spanish as their second language because I felt that it was easier for me to support outside of the immersion program they are in. I find it easier to find ways to engage them in the language outside of school without traveling to a Spanish speaking country. IMHO being in an immersion program will not produce bilingual/biliterate children without the outside exposure to the target language. It will likely lead to them being proficient, maybe, and that's not a bad thing if bilingualism isn't your goal. It takes a lot of effort to raise bilingual children, so I think the first step is to decide what the goal is and plan from there. [/quote]
