Abstract	This monograph describes the experience of a Japanese family raising their children bilingually in Japan by adopting English as the home language. Both parents are native Japanese who went to graduate school in the United States and now teach English at the college level. Although both parents are very proficient in English, they recognize they will never reach native speaker level. Therefore, they decided to raise their two children as native English speakers, who will acquire Japanese from the community outside the home. In describing the methods used by the parents to raise their children bilingually, the decisions they had to make about culture, and the various periods in which one language or the other dominated as the family moved back and forth across the Pacific, the paper frequently cites and evaluates current research on bilingualism.
