that is nice for her. but being bilingual is nothing really special, esp for kids who grow up in multilingual environments.

@Alexander Goeres Well... My nephew was born in Sydney, and moved to San Francisco when he was 4 or 5.

His parents, my brother and sister-in-law spoke Dutch at home, but never made an effort to teach him Dutch. Of course he picked up quite a bit, but his Dutch was pretty bad when they moved to Belgium three years ago.

And it's still far from perfect, and the American accent is still very thick.

It's only remarkable when the local population refuses to learn other languages.
