[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Unless the child has someone else to practice with after The nanny is no longer in the picture, she will not retain the language. 20 hours per week won't offer that much exposure anyway. Why not learn the language of the family? I speak 3 languages BTW. I'm a native English speaker.[/quote] That should be "as a family."[/quote] Because while that certainly is a way to do it, it's much harder to meaningfully engage small children in a study like this. Young kids need a foreign language environment, clearly defined and constant, so a 2nd language nanny, even if part-time, is ideal. The child then has a clear divide between the languages because they associate different languages with different people and can learn naturally through play.[/quote]
