[quote=Anonymous]My absolutely wonderful nanny has been here for 11 years and speaks very little English. Not because she doesn't want to. It's because it's HARD! Not knowing any better, I thought English was easy to learn, especially since my Spanish is HORRIBLE after studying for 18 years. Anyways, she could call 911 if need be and can piece meal a convo with DH who speaks no Spanish. Aside from that Spanish it is! She speaks to me solely in Spanish, which has increased my ability 10 fold. Also, my DS who is now 6 can translate for us. She taught him at birth and now 6 years later if there's ever a time when I don't have the vocabulary or she doesn't understand me, my son bridges the gap. This is not for the faint of heart, however. It has worked for my family.[/quote]
