What is this home language classes? I said those don't work.

Looks like we have different experiences.

Growing up in Herndon - the kids from the German AF Base had zero accent in switching between: English and German.

I've known Indians that wrote novels in both Hindi and English.

You are telling me that 99% of the Hispanic community in Herndon can only speak either English or Spanish? Its barely A1 in one but not fluent in both (because its rara to do both)?  They seem to be fluent to me in English and Spanish.

You never seen a kid translate for their parents before? This is rare to you? In any language? [b]Is the kid barely A-1 to you?[/b] [/quote]

It depends on what they are translating. I know zero French. My kids sometimes translate French to me. That doesn't make them fluent.

I am not familiar with Herndon community but majority of Hispanic kids in the USA do not speak Spanish fluently. The only exception are kids who go to schools that have large Hispanic populations. And yes, those kids often struggle with English; it's a widely recognized problem.  [/quote]
