Resolve: To Teach or Not to Teach Your Young One's our Native Tongue: Filipino

definitely i agree
i have cousins born and live in US.. they don't speak tagalog/kapampangan but they do understand it..
one case it will be important for them is no one can fool them here in the philippines...
and i guess it's their right to learn Tagalog for they are also Filipinos

if their born in the uk, they are britsh , and if you don't want your child to struggle at school learning english should come first b4 tag. sure they should learn another language but dont let it mean they will fall behind other kids in their class.

well if they born in UK definitely they will learn english.. my husband is British and there's no way he will speak our kids tagalog.
through my readings kids age from 2 to 5 years old, can easily learn different languages and it's the best time to teach them. Kids learn foreign languages more easily than adults do.
their nationality will be British but their blood is half English and half Filipino. i've been a private tutor for Koreans and Chinese kids, so far i haven't got any students who struggle at school. for they learned quickly English and Tagalog. also maybe it depends on the capacity of a child to learn.. they will only fall behind other kids in their class if they are not bright enough.
