Anyone learning Korean and Chinese at the same time? Any linguists on this board?

I have a pre-ker at YY and while dc is too young for Hebrew school now, would love a recommendation for one for future reference.

Dad is Israeli, so that makes things a lot easier on us. The J has a Sunday class now for K and 1st, I believe and I think there is a Tuesday class someplace on the Hill that a lot of Yu Yingers go to (there may even be a bus to it, I'm not sure). We would be extremely interested in trying to get a Hebrew REEF class going (Hebrew aleph bet- not Jewish religion, before anyone gets excited) if we could get a critical mass interested. I think for IB, students have to learn two languages. I assume in middle school that second language will be Spanish, but maybe with enough interest we could get a Hebrew elective going too. Dreams.... 8)

My kids (3rd and 4th graders at Yu Ying) attend the Hill Havurah's Hebrew school on Tuesdays (located on Capitol Hill). Currently there is no bus service. The kids definitely feel that they are stronger in Chinese, but they have no problem learning a 3rd language. Children are capable of learning several languages with different writing systems.

Thank you both! Would definitely be interested in Hebrew in REEF if it's available. Will check both the J and Hill Havurah for next year. Thanks again!
