[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 542102, member: 14557"] We have always been told to speak your own strongest language to the kids. That it is important to use a language you have emotional connction with. Books, tv etc. can be in other language. Our boys went to school that teaches in our first language but they begun to study also the main language of the country early on at school but as a foreign language. Kids of course at times heard also me and husband speaking the other language and they watched tv shows with that. Also some of their hobbies (and friends from there) were in second language. We are lucky that sound-letter equivalence is very similar in both languages so it was very easy to learn to read also in other language. English took little more work later on. [/QUOTE]
