[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh come on. [b]My near native Chinese speaking kids joke about how the upper grades YY students they interact with speak "GPS Chinese."[/b] 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] +1. Sounds like they're learning by example.[/quote]
