I have 2 boys and one on the way..my boys are 6 and 3 and know spanish more than english..well my 6 yr old is in 1st grade so he's probably equal on his english and spanish..
but since he's reading now..I'm gonna start buying him spanish children books and ask him to explain to me what he read..my 3 yr old speaks only spanish..and it's funny as hell when he tries to speak english..but that will automatically come with school and television like it did with my 6 yr old..
Both of my kids have "Americanized" names..but that's not a problem imo..I think them knowing their culture and history is what matters..and being bilingual isn't only a great way to keep that culture moving..it's an advantage to them when they're grown..it opens doors for more opportunities..
