We are an English speaking family planning to bring a maid from Indonesia who cannot communicate at all in English. Please guide me how i could train her to speak English, since she will be taking care of my kids.
a real need open all doors. there is no barier,I am sure your kids will speak Bhasha Indonesia.right now shaikh's sons and daughters are speaking Tamil(they have two Tamil maids)
Send her to the British council for English lessons twice a week and within a few months her standard of spoken English will be reasonably good. Be sure to continue with the English lessons as the way she speaks will influence your children.
You will also need to decide whether you want your children to speak Indonesian as a second language. Children tend to pick up languages much quicker than adults. Research has shown that bilingual children tend to be cognitively better than monolinguals.
I find they pick up language quickly but you will need to speak to her non-stop all the time. Maybe this will not be ideal if both of you are working and the kids are st home. I find it helps when she plays with the kids a lot as kids have a great deal of patience and they feel more comfortable around the kids than adults as there is little embarrasment.

Hi
Just make sure she has worked as a nanny before,
the language barrier is not a major problem
they are very quick learner and before you know she will understand everything you say.
check, how old she is, if she is between 23 to 30 years and had previous experience then you will be fine.
The rest is just all your luck, you can bring someone who understand your language very well & has previous experience but still isn't good at work.
Good Luck

There is no point of bringing her my dear .because the time needed to teach her enlish wont be less then the time needed for you kid to be a teenager
my advice ,go find another one
best of luck
