[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of this depends on your needs. If your kid(s) are already speaking well and clearly, it's certainly less important than if you have a toddler (both for formation and frustration reasons) Secondly, if her native language is one that you marginally know or has a lot of similarities to english (spanish, german) then it may be easier than if she speaks Farsi or Portugeuse (unless you know those ) And finally, there is the issue of how much she is capable and interested in improving. We generally are sticking with Germans for the forseeable future and most of them have come over with good English skills but if they hadn't, we'd be screwed because they only socialize with other German Au Pairs and speak noting but German outside of work.[/quote]
