#2141, "RE: Dual Immersion Language Programs"
In response to In response to 0


          

Do the kids who go through "normal" classes get exposed to another language? Or is it all or nothing?

I attended a Catholic school that started teaching Spanish in 2nd grade as a SMALL portion of each school day, just like any other subject. By the time I was in middle school, I could write nearly fluently and speak conversationally. I think exposing them to the language at a young age is the key, not necessarily immersing them into it.

And anyway... who needs a fluent 8-year-old? KWIM? LOL Unless you plan on using them as your translator if you're traveling abroad
