[quote=Anonymous]^^ Hate to brake it to you, but that standard represents an ideal that simply does not exist. I live in a Latino apartment building with immigrant families. The adults all speak Spanish. The kids still speak English. They may have been truly spanish dominant as infants and toddlers, but by preschool age, they're surprisingly English dom. I don't understand it myself, but it is what it is. Maybe Oyster should focus on attracting speakers with native fluency, regardless of how they achieved it. Clearly if some American family is resourceful enough that they're kids can pass a test checking for native fluency in Spanish, they bring something to the table- the ability to foster and support Spanish fluency. Isn't that the goal to begin with?[/quote]
