[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, kids do it all the time. [/quote] +1 This has always been an issue-Spanish, Chinese, French, the salutatorian in my high school 30 years ago was a fluent Italian speaker who took Italian arguing that she could speak it and understand it but couldn't read/write it because it wasn't her language of instruction. [/quote] Well this is true, especially for languages that are phonetically written. There is also the study of literature and culture embedded in these classes. So yes, orally it will be easier but it's not like the kids are learning nothing.[/quote]
