[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ADHD adult here, also LDs. I struggled with foreign language in HS but learned pretty quickly in an immersion program in college when I studied abroad. I think I needed to be hearing the language and using the language and not just learning vocab and verb conjucation in the classroom for the language to sink in. I suspect that many people would learn better in immersion. I wonder if there are immersion summer camp opportunities that might count for high school language credits. I have an ES student so I have not looked at the high school options yet.[/quote]

OP here.  This is exactly what I was thinking.  I think DC might benefit from an immersion experience.  If anyone has any suggestions for this, let me know.  I was thinking of perhaps setting DC up with someone just to speak Spanish with on iTalki or something similar, if I don't find anything else.

I guess it's a less preferred task, although DC enjoys the class itself.  It seems to be how much practice and repetition is necessary.  Perhaps making it a more natural way to learn a language (or at least supplementing with that) would help make it less of a slog.

Thanks again![/quote]
