[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 571433, member: 14557"] Marg, you are of course right that at times learning of foreign languages may need to be postponed due to language development or learning issues. But in the cases like Dona's, it is a moot point in reality. The kid lives in UK and goes school there. It really isn't possible to not to try to teach her English. Same would had been true to my kids. Yes, we could had postponed formal teaching of our kids second language and certainly English (but not to prevent them for hearing foreign languages, for example our tv is not dubbed but subtitled, it is common to hear closer to ten different languages from tv during the night), but prevent them from learning the language half of the neighbours talked, that we talked at times in stores or with many friends, that half of their hobbies were instructed? Not gonna happen. I guess it would be just as difficult to keep autistic Chinese child living in Australia from hearing and learning English. And I'm not sure it would be that smart. I think that also for Dona's child not hearing or learning English is not an option. [/QUOTE]
