When Not to Speak Your Second Language to Your Children

I never thought of myself as having much in common with Spanish-speaking immigrants to the United States. I was born in Iowa, to parents of Western European ancestry, and I am a classic example of the monolingual American whose only exposure to another language came from a brief high school foreign-language class.

That is, until I met my current wife, who is from the Philippines and bilingual in Tagalog and English. Since then, I’ve been trying to learn Tagalog with very modest success.

When my wife became pregnant, I thought it would be a great opportunity to improve my new language skills. After all, our daughter would learn Tagalog (pronounced Ta-GAH-lug) beginning with the simplest words and phrases, and I could learn along with her as my wife spoke it to her. I would never master it as well as our daughter would, but it seemed like a great way to learn.

Cebu Pacific gets EU approval to fly to Europe

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATE) – The European Union (EU) officially lifted the ban on Cebu Pacific on Thursday, making the Gokongwei-led budget carrier the second local airline allowed to fly to Europe.

The announcement was made by EU Chargè d’ Affaires Dr. Julian Vassallo in a press conference attended by Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) director general Lt. Gen. William Hotchkiss III, CAAP deputy director general Capt. John Andrews, Cebu Pacific president Lance Gokongwei, and Transportation Sec. Jun Abaya.

“Cebu Pacific Air has been taken off the list of the EU-banned airlines,” Vassallo said, noting that it was a unanimous decision made by the Air Safety Committee.

He added that the European Commission will also begin the process of assessing Philippine aviation including internal aviation later this year with the prospect of lifting the ban on Philippine aviation as a whole.
