[quote=Anonymous]Our AP is from South America and only speaks English to us (is actually quite good, all of our kids understand her). The problem is that she speaks Portuguese all other times, on the phone, when friends are over etc. She has about 5-6 close friends who speak Portuguese and they sit with us at the table or at an event (soccer, baseball etc) and only speak their language. In the car (us driving) she will be chatting away on her phone in Portuguese. I love that my kids are exposed to another language but she has only been here 2 months so they don't know any of it yet. I asked my son (8) if she speaks English to them during the day and he said yes. Am i over reacting in wanting her to speak with us in a language we understand or around us? TL/DR: Our AP can speak wonderful English and will when watching the kids. All other times it is Portuguese. Is this a problem. [/quote]
