No offense, but he'd have learned English regardless. I prefer immigrants keep/teach their kids their former homeland's language. I think an extra language or two helps you in the long run. My German ancestors came here in the 1840's and many descendants kept using the language to WWI came along. Dang shame that heritage was lost imo.
My grandfather was about 12 when he arrived. His father was adamant that they were now Americans and would speak like Americans. I have not known a more patriot person than my grandfather.
Not sure what you mean by “no offense.” 🤷♂️
