Everyone did, but they speak the language because both parents speak English - my husband is a native Israeli with 2 Anglo parents. Still trying to get them to read books in English - not going too well. But, I know many couples with only one native English speaker who fought valiantly to speak English with their first child(ren) and lost the battle over time.RRRRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759623377191632550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202996302446629175.post-44321688649793148452015-08-15T22:25:52.271-07:002015-08-15T22:25:52.271-07:00Having just returned from a family vacation im Can...Having just returned from a family vacation im Canada and the US, I turned to my kids when we got back and asked, "NOW do you appreciate your English?"

Your kids are doing well with their English and anything that doesn't feel right when you are interacting with your kids is not the thing to do. <br />I'm sure they enjoyed your latest book, in English - right?!<br />All the best,<br />NaomiNaomihttp://visualisingideas.edublogs.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202996302446629175.post-89624246269348450192015-08-15T04:25:47.292-07:002015-08-15T04:25:47.292-07:00Nice, David.

We did speak only English to our kids, the result being that their English is great as, is their Hebrew. The problem is that our Hebrew stayed in a twilight state of retardedness.<br /><br />My kids are so thankful to us, that they forbid us to speak Hebrew with their kids, our grandkids. Only English, again.<br /><br />You did your kids a favour, as did we.
