[quote=Anonymous]I know a lot of the thinking is pretty black and white here--immersion school/OPOL, or nothing. But I think that if a family is particularly committed, there are other ways to get your kids significant exposure. Your kid will likely not be fluent, but some exposure is better than none and can set the stage for more intensive language study later on. We speak English at home, and home configuration meant we couldn't do an au pair. We now have a child in an immersion school, but prior to this, we did Saturday classes from age 2, 3x week exposure in neighborhood school from PK3, occasional summer immersion camps, and cartoons in the language. If no parents speak the language (or just took it in middle/high school as I did), you should be willing to learn along w/kid. [/quote]
