[quote=Anonymous]I have an 8 year old that does speak the heritage language, and we did about 1000% the exposure you are doing. You have to decide whether or not you are in or out. We do extremely strict OPOL method, I essentially never break. If you are in, than YOU need to find friends for yourself that speak the language so the child hears it "in the wild", have the radio in the morning play in that language, watch PawPatrol, PJ Masks, whatever cartoons that he knows but in the heritage language, movie night at home for the whole family in heritage language with subtitles, tons of easy books at home, magazines, etc.

And please - talk to the teachers at the weekend school. I would be pissed if i knew there was a non-speaking child in our class, as it forces the whole class to switch to english, with the little speaking time they already get. Make sure it's not a problem. And maybe look for one on one online classes.

Lastly, i liked this book, it helped me understand my head: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/676286/parenting-with-an-accent-by-masha-rumer/[/quote]
