Hola mi pregunta y preocupacion es algo que me agovia frecuentemente, soy madre de tres ninos 3, 5 y 10 anos. Mi hijo mayor su primer idioma era Ingles. Recientemente eso ha cambiado muchoya que mi hijos prefiere hablar mas espanol que inlges autoamicamente y mis hijos mas pequenos se comunican solo en espanol tambien. Cabe agrega que nos movimos a vivir a una comunidad cerca de la frontera con Mexico y el espanol es el idioma que mas se habla inclusive en las esculas. Desde que radicamos aqui (casi dos anos ya) a mis hijos los he educado en casa. Espanol es el primer idioma que mis hijos han aprendido a hablar por que tanto mi esposo como yo solo hablamos espanol en casa, y solo cuando tenemos actividades fuera de casa el Ingles es como nos comunicamos. Mi preocupacion como mama homeschooler (clases que doy y son impartidas a mis hijos en ingles unicamente tanto por mi como por mi esposo) es que mis hijos unicamente escuchan espanol, y si, saber y entender otro idioma es importante, pero me preocupa que mis hijos no logren aprender el idioma y entenderlo de la misma forma que un nativo hablante del idima inlges lo aprenderia. He pensado muchas veces regresarlos a la escuela secular y dejar de educarlos en casa, pensando que quiza asi les facilitaria sobre todo a los mas pequenos el acostumbrarse a la fonica y a el acento en ingles como culquier otro nino americano nativo lo hablaria. Me preocupa mucho que los estoy limitando no educativamente por que definitivamente en ese sentido estoy convencida que estan recibiendo una educacion muy completa, Pero como idioma los estoy limitandolo?. Por favor si tienen alguna sugerencia y comentario se los agradeceria de corazon..!!

I am curious what my kiddo sounds like to native speakers. I am not a native Spanish speaker (American/English) but I now speak Spanish with what natives say is “almost no accent.” I try to speak to my daughter every day in Spanish, and we watch videos with Spanish from Chile (I love “Cantando Aprendo a Hablar!) and everywhere else. I worry her accent will sound “American” but I do what I can!

My husband is Venezuelan, I’m Mexican and American (“white”). My husband and his family get a kick out of her Mexican accent, while one of my tias in Mexio said she sounded Brazilian. (I also studied Portuguese, then lived in Spain, so my accent has a mixture of influences as well.)

Lilian,

I do not know what it is about the British accent, but makes anyone fall in love…It sounds just wonderfully. Now, add to this that your boys speak both languages, and their Spanish with a unique accent, is PRICELESS.

So glad you made sure they kept learning Spanish.

Abrazos,
Kelly

Dear Tori,

Loved that you shared your story here….Isn’t that just wonderful? Our kids surprise us in many ways…..Why she chose the Argentinian accent over the ones she listens most of the time…I guess it will be a mystery (besides that she just ‘speaks that way’).

Unique for sure,
Kelly

When we moved to Mexico two years ago, my kids started at bilingual schools (5yrs and 3 yrs) They had grown up in the US ( to those ages ) with a Mexican Papi and lots of Mexican family near… so they had and heard some Spanish from when they were born. After my daughter picked up the language in Mexico (like a pro! its almost like her first, and strongest language…) she would talk with an Argentinian accent! We have no idea why or where she started speaking like this, but when we asked about it, she just said, “because that’s the way I speak Spanish! She did have kids form Argentina in her class and a friend with an Argentinian dad… but, most of the Spanish speakers surrounding her spoke “Mexican” Spanish….. We love her accent! Makes her one unique bilingual kid!
