[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year when my kid took Spanish IA, the class started with a couple of native speakers, but then they stopped coming. I don't think they are allowed to take their native language as a class. I would check with the school.[/quote]

Kids are definitely allowed to take their native language as a class. Thousands of children do this. In some middle schools Spanish is the only foreign language option.[/quote]

Yes.  How is the school going to stop this? And besides lots of kids grow up speaking and/or hearing a language daily at home but don’t read much in that language so the excuse is that they’re taking the language to learn to read and write properly.

My non-native kid is with some of those kids in his MS Spanish class. One kid is fluent in French and that helps in language acquisition for Spanish too.   It for sure makes the level of understanding needed much higher but if your kid is a hard worker and/or has a knack for languages it should be ok z[/quote]
