[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle School DC has ADHD and has been having great difficulty learning Spanish.  DC notes it is so hard to concentrate, especially when studying due to the repetitive nature of the practice needed.  DC has extremely strong verbal skills in English, but has really struggled with Spanish.  Any tips or strategies that might be helpful?  Do other kids with ADHD notice this issue too?[/quote]

My ADHD DC also had trouble with Spanish, but also has strong verbal English skills. Middle School was ok because the teachers offered lots of support, but freshman year Honors Spanish 3 was tough. Thankfully that was the year MCPS closed mid year for the pandemic, and it was significantly easier with lots of retakes and easy assignments when they went virtual. She stopped after Spanish 3 and started taking ASL. She loves it! My non ADHD child is doing well in her freshman year of Honors French 3 and plans to continue into the higher levels and AP foreign language classes.[/quote]
