My child understands my language but answers in English. What can I do?
Your child understands you but answers in the other language. Why it happens, why it is not rejection, and five calm ways to get them speaking.
For the parent who speaks it alone
You're the only one who speaks your language at home. Here's how to pass it on anyway.
Calm, real-life help from a dad who lost his first language at seven, and whose daughter now speaks four. No strict rules. No guilt.
Stress low, let it flow.
Hi, I'm Remi
I lost my first language in one summer
I was born in Korea and adopted by a French family at seven. I arrived in France in June, speaking only Korean. By October, I had no trouble in French. And my Korean was gone. Nobody told me to stop. It just faded.
Today I live in Cancún, Mexico. My daughter Lia is seven, the age I was then. She speaks French with me, Korean with her mother, and Spanish and English at school. In her daily life, I was the only one who spoke French.
One parent can be enough. It was in our home. This site is where I share how.
- Language teacher, 15+ years
- Dad of a four-language kid
- Single dad, shared custody
