[quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to speak the other language -enough- to benefit your children. I think this is most important. I think you apologize to anyone else present, and explain why you will be speaking in the other language. People will be understanding -enough- I worked in an English speaking office where I was the only one who didn't speak a common second language. The office often functioned in the second language. I did think it was rude that the other language was spoken in front of me and I was left out. It was especially rude when it was a joke, obviously something funny was said, everyone was laughing. I wouldn't know what was said (no reason really to ever assume it had anything to do with me) So, I say all that because you raise a good question re:language and manners BUT I still think your need to reinforce the second language with your children is the most important issue.[/quote]
