i talk to him and also to our new son english mixed with tagalog. just because i'm having nosebleed talking straight english
kidding aside... i thinks it's best to teach them our own language too. they might not speak tagalog but at least they will understand the language. so wether we are here or in Pinas, no one can fool them
ah, you're doing well! i envy you.
in the last 10 years i have probably spoken tagalog for a total of 6 months.
- only when i am at home to visit family!

keep going at it. it's very important to your children's language development to give Filipino a boost. Apparently, they will need to know that the Filipino culture and language is as important as the English culture and language.

So this means for my 5 yr old more daing, dilis, champorado at ensaymada
and staying up to midnight for media noche on nye and noche buena on christmas eve!
