[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks--really helpful.  I guess I just don't know yet at PK4 what sort of student my kid is (especially with half of that from home).  I know his teachers say he is really smart, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be good at languages, or patient enough to wade through instances where he only half understands.

When people say, willing to put in the work, I wonder exactly what that means?  [b]Hiring a tutor is something I could see doing. Camps in spanish, sure, and vacations.[/b]  But my spanish used is probably too dusty to be of much use in supporting that portion of the learning.[/quote]

This is what people generally mean by "put in the work." Either someone in the home supports the language or there is supplementary external support in the form of other immersive exposure.[/quote]

One of the biggest home supports is to have all screen time in the target language. Also, especially when they were younger my kids loved to see that their parents were working and learning at the language as well. (Both of us had done well throughout HS and college in the language but had a lot of work to do to get it back. It was fun to do together).[/quote]
