[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is most definitely a troll, or she is the victim of a ignorant neighbor who allegedly runs an "ESL program", which is not only the incorrect term for English language learners, but not a standalone program outside of the school system, and, as such, has no single person "running it."

Additionally, neither the trolling OP or her alleged neighbor appears to know a thing about language acquisition. A nanny who speaks to a child in her native language, or a combination of her language and English, will not damage a child's ability to learn English. The child might not be fluent in the nanny's native language, but that is immaterial since the OP specifically mentioned "an ESL program". The research is clear on this.

As for the crazy person who thinks that bilingualism causes speech impediments, please, please, stay far away from the nanny profession and, frankly, anything to do with education. You are shockingly ignorant.[/quote]
That is correct as long as both languages are spoken well, with correct grammar and rich vocabulary.[/quote]
