Best Way to be Enriched with a Foreign Language over Summer

[Anonymous]

DD takes Spanish and wants to maintain/gain skills over the summer. She's been doing duolingo but that has its limitation. Any advice on how to not have the summer slide , especially for a language. FWIW, DD will be going into Spanish 4 next year.

Are there online book clubs or anything she can partake in?

TV, movies, songs.
Add subtitles to English media too.

1. Immersion camp in Spanish speaking country.

2. Camp run by one of the Spanish schools in the area - check quickly, they might be full already. The Argentine School, for example.

All other solutions will be way less efficient.

Not OP or a PP. Escuela Argentina did not have a summer camp last that I looked. Recommend the Les Classes du Samedi French summer camp.

Looking for recommendations for immersion camps in Spanish speaking countries for Spring Break 2024 or summer 2024 in Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama or Costa Rica. Parents may be willing to tag along; neither are Spanish-speaking but willing to learn.

DD used to go to a weekly Spanish Conversation Club at the Rockville library. I don’t see it on the calendar anymore, but it looks like there are similar programs at other Montgomery County libraries.

This is great, but wish it was offered at more places.

OP, if you can afford it, I agree that the best way would be for your kid to spend the Summer in a Spanish-speaking country.

You could travel to Europe or Mexico but you also might learn that Americans use education as a tool to financially oppress taxpayers. That's a bummer when we realize that it's a game instead of a societal investment.
