OP here. A full year sounds great. Long enough to really immerse yourself into the culture. Your DC will come back quite fluent no doubt. |

| PPs, stress to your kids that to achieve fluency, they really need to make friends outside their circle of other American exchange students. When I did this (ages ago) this was definitely a risk, more so since not all the classes were in the foreign language. |

| Niece is going to Missoula Montana. I know it isn't "abroad", but it will be different. |

| If you can afford it what a great way for the next generation to learn about other cultures and the world. Will help them negotiate/adapt to globalization. |
