I understand your point, but with American kids they way they are now, they speak English
very poorly and I teach her English grammar along with this second language. I just don't
want her to get languages confused, even if easily fixed. |

They mainly develop poor English because of the media like MTV, etc.
Also, you should remember, you should really only be speaking to her in Swedish, while
everyone else talks to her in English. That's how I've seen bilingual children done with
English/Spanish here.
