[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they're not speaking the language everyday, it's all useless and a waste of time. [/quote] Ha ha! So untrue. My kids both learned a second and third language through classes and camps. [/quote] 1) people really don’t understand how variable language acquisition is. Even a child who invests a lot of time in a second language starting at a young age May walk away with a very weak skill level and another child may gain a lot of language; 2) in my experience Americans vastly overstate their ability to speak additional languages. I have no idea what you mean by “learned” and I bet you don’t know either. [/quote]
