It is hard to answer you without knowing what's up with the father of the kid. If you give the info about the kid's father, we could give you specific advices. If you are "a girl" (means young to me) as your nick suggests, and if the kid's father is gone (disappeared, divorced, whatever) you can forget about teaching your kid Uzbek for the moment. If you have the means and you are so passionate, you can take your kid with you and go live in Uzbekistan for a couple of years.

This is possible because even if you are a middle class here in the U.S., you can afford living for two years in Uzbekistan. You think two years is not enough to learn the language? It is enough for a kid to pick up the basics, the root. After two years in Uzbekistan, you will definitely have some Uzbek friends, who you'll keep in touch with and who are willing to teach you Uzbek language and culture. They might ask you to teach them some English, a task you may not want to take. But hey, isn't it great when you have this mutual thing going on; it's a win-win for both parties. Not only will you learn the language and culture, but also you will build a friendship and trust with local people, who live the language you are willing to learn. We have very hospitable people in Uzbekistan, trust me on this.

Man, are you still sure about AN in "I am American?" You could review your grammar book; it wouldn't hurt...just AN advice (I cheked my grammar book on this one)...hehehe, no offense man.

just in case... African-, Asian-, Puerto-Rican-, and all other Americans with the origin identifiers and a hyphen in their description are as plain Americans as "White (Caucasian, whatever)Americans" or as you call them "Americans." Besides, people, whom you call "Americans" make grammar mistakes too, just like other "(origin)-Americans."

PS. I suppose, "American" isn't supposed to mean the one who doesn't make grammar mistakes, right? You may correct me on my grammar too.

[hello]

Thank you for your advice. I'd rather not say much about the father. I will only say that he wants to play around and not take care of his responsibility. That happens a lot when people immigrate to America. They forget that American women desire the same as any woman in the world which is respect. Oh well, but I believe you are right. At the moment I will not worry about teaching the child his father's culture. However, I am currently working on a Master's degree specializing in teaching ESL. Maybe that will be useful in the future. I also have other Uzbek friends who have been very supportive. Thank you for your reply. dosveedanya
