[quote=Anonymous]No. My daughter will take AP Spanish Lang next year, and despite straight As, is nowhere near fluent or bilingual, even though we're French and entirely fluent in that language. I learned German and Spanish at school in France. I was never fluent. This is not an "issue", it's normal. It happens to all kids learning foreign languages the world over. You would need an immersive environment to be entirely fluent and bilingual and that's not given to most people. The only reason I ended up fluent in English is that I lived in the UK from 8 to 12 years old and upon my return to France, was placed in an international school with half of my classes in English.
