[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh come on. My near native Chinese speaking kids joke about how the upper grades YY students they interact with speak "GPS Chinese." These kids sound like robots in Chinese. They don't know slang/kid Chinese, speak haltingly using fairly flat tones, and understand little. Just because a kid attends a DCPS or DCPCS immersion program for years doesn't mean they've become multilingual. It generally means they learned a little of the target language, enough to pull off a fair imitation of a GPS at any rate. But if the family has at least one native speaker in the home over a number of years who speaks mostly in the target language, and requires kids to reply in it most of the time, they become proficient, if not fluent. [/quote] Forgive me for this, but I worry that you might be raising your kids to be jerks. [/quote]
