She does not speak English because I am the caregiver, she spends 99% of her time with me, and we speak our language. She never had a chance to go to a playgroup or daycare because my husband sees no point in paying for this if I can do it for free. She speaks a little English, like, "Can I have a cookie" or "Pretty puppy!" etc, but she can not really understand anything beyond that. Language is ONLY learnt when a person is among people who speak it, and she lost a year of schooling, opportunity to learn English and be around kids her age since we arrived here, it makes me so angry with my husband! According to the laws here, I was not allowed to work, we only got our papers in May, so we had to totally depend on him for everything, and if he said HE is going to decide how to manage HIS finances himself, and daycare is not on his priority list, so it was. Kids don't start to speak English just because geographically, they are in an English-speaking country.
