Mum and Dad sent us to a bilingual school, so we had half the lessons in English and half in French. But I remember being hugely lost.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mom taught me German before I knew English. And I went to French immersion school.
I learned my French through school. I was lucky in that the tutor on 'The Wonder Years' set spoke fluent French.
We spoke French at home and I didn't know any English until I went to school. My mother was French and met my father when he visited France as a student on a teaching placement.
My father's really fluent in French, but I can't speak at all. I actually took it twice in school already and failed both times!
You know, even growing up going to school, I had teachers that were against bilingual teaching. I never understood that. My parents always had me speak Spanish first knowing I was going to speak English in school.
I learned Spanish at home and, since half my family doesn't speak English, it's my first language.
I learned French before I learned Spanish.
I taught high school students Spanish.
Oh, yes, I taught 13 and a half years. I taught English, first at a Catholic school and then at El Toro High School in Lake Forest, Calif.
I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot.
