[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great points about healthcare and meds, 100% did not think of these!

The drinking is interesting too, I'll approach that too in the coming months.

Yes, they take Spanish in school but its dreadful. We'll be getting virtual tutors set up for the intervening months (preply or similar).

Italy is the back up plan, and that's a good point, no we wouldn't want them in camp to learn Italian. [/quote]

Not trying to disparage your kids, but I think there are two ways to learn a language not spoken in the home:

1.  Immersion school from a young age (and this is by no means fool proof)
2.  Move to a country/place where that language is primary

I think any other concepts are almost all worthless half-measures.  Just seems like a waste of time unless its a prelude to moving to a Spanish speaking country.

My kid took a year of French in high school and we included France on a summer trip- she could barely get out a 5 word sentence and stopped trying after day 2.[/quote]
