[quote=Anonymous]All the anxiety about "fluency" and "bilingualism" probably comes down to this: fear of being an outsider. If somebody speaks like an outsider, s/he is usually treated like an outsider. But every person on this planet is an outsider somewhere. As a YY parent and a child of immigrants, I recognize that my kids will probably never seamlessly navigate Chinese culture, but my own navigation here isn't seamless either. Doesn't at all diminish the value of the experience, or the dignity of human relationship, which is always built in imperfect communication.[/quote]
