Hi, I'm betty, nice to meet you all, I joined this site just yesterday.
I agree with RonBee, because I've been living this situation with my two nephews who were born in USA and still living there.
My first purpose is to improve English language to be able to communicate with my relatives and their friends, but I can see the real difference in the way of learning between me and the children, the boy is four and the girl is only two, who are already able to understand and speak Italian - our mother tongue - English and Spanish too!
