I have two canadian sons married to american girls and living in Manhattan. Just came back from NY, visiting them and my grandchildren.
I am glad to learn that the kids are becoming bilingual, because my sons speak to them in Spanish at home. Of course, English is the main language, both at school and at the playground.
So maybe, in a few years when they are old enough _they_ will be my English mentors. But I have to confess that while living in Canada I learned a lot of idioms, especially those beginning with f....:-)

Sometimes I doubt myself on the correct use of some English expressions. After all, they don’t teach all of them at school.
I'm always impressed by how well the non-native English speakers express themselves here. (Certainly better than most of us can do in other languages.) So, don't apologize, and feel free to ask if you have a question.
