Language should be just a medium of communication. Name: Priya Country: India Comment: Knowing any number of languages is an asset and your mother-tongue is one of the easiest to learn. It's easy for kids to learn to atleast converse in it. And in the case of bi-lingual couples, I think the kid should be taught both languages, only then will he/she benefit from being exposed to the rich culture and tradition of both and he'll also be one-up on those who are proficient in only one of those languages. He could even be a communicating link!! Name: Vandana R.
