[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had two kids going through Deal with French and they did not learn much. The first changed language at JR and got to AP level for that language. The second now in 9th at JR was even worse of the first due to the pandemic, not able to pronounce words correctly, not able to have even a very basic conversation, not able to write, did not know the verbs and so on. She has straight As all three years and got even an award at graduation. Frankly I wondered if my kid was a straight A, how are kids who have C as there is no such a thing a below zero knowledge. Second kid also changed language at JR. I studied french in MS as well but in a foreign country and i learned to write, read and have conversations, [b]the class was very heavy on grammar, all regilar verbs and irregular verbs perfectly memorized[/b],  written and spoken, [b]reading aloud in class pages written by french authors[/b], then reading assignments if french works and written essays in french. The full immersion method used at Deal works if you move to France for two years maybe, otherwise you need to reslly study the grammar or you will not learn anything [/quote]

No public school in the US does this in any language instruction unless the teacher is 700 years old.[/quote]
