What? It's far more practical to reteach his wife the language she lost, which also happens to be his first language AND the primary language of the country they live it.

If she can't retain it, then teaching it to her is not practical, regardless of how useful it would be if she hypothetically learned it.

A lesson the American school system could stand to learn too. :/

That's not the situation. She did improve significantly, although not to complete recovery.
