My 5 year old stepchild learning tagalog

[sars_notd_virus]

From what I have seen, once the children have been here a while they soon drop any Tagalog they have learnt and have no inclination to continue with it, even if mom wants them to.

Not me, my daughter have to keep it.,,she still know and understand her tagalog ,..I dont want her to look strange and stupid when she comes and visit Philippines again,...Imagine if someone speaks to her in tagalog and she cant reply back??
btw, at 10 years old she learned some German and French too , she'll not be lost anywhere.

I have been to many countries and the English language served me well, mainly because it is the language most likely to be spoken by anyone outside of the UK. I did have a problem with the Russians but does that mean I should have learned Russian in school?

Having said all, me and my wife's mom can't understand a word each other says
