Me and hubby speaks tag-lish, but when we speak to our daughter we use 90% of english and the rest is tagalog.
We received our child's Annual report from school and what I hate was they said our daughter is quite poor in speaking english and she was below the average level they expected...My god! Are they stupid? Don't they understand that we have two language in the house?
Not an expert, I only try to help.

You obviosuly need to spend time with the kid concentrating on English only, maybe talking a mixture of the two is confusing her, as the younger brain cannot define a clear difference as we can, so they are blending into one.

Gotta agree with that it be just the same if a child was in Phill and their tagalog was below standard which affected the social interaction with their peers if the teachers didn't let you know you wouldn't be happy.

I know of many Kids that speak two Languages ie parents tongue and English.
Many speak English with Kids from a simliar background to them and even their parents when younger from what they told me.
