[quote=Anonymous]I second the advice to not do this and look for alternative ways to provide solid foreign language foundations. There are plenty of other proven models for second language acquisition. Immersion is just one of them. And most of these immersion schools are indeed premised on the idea that you co-acquire one or several other languages while the young brain is absorbing the first one. Your situation is that of a second language acquisition, which is also a great way to learn languages. especially that young. Don't get me wrong, it's not like they won't learn it. Plenty of kids migrate to wholly different parts of the planet at that age and do just fine. But that's a different story. The counter-factual here is that if you do opt to mimic such a situation, you will need to be given the equivalent of language support an immigrant English Language Learner is provided with when entering a regular public school, and that's a lot.[/quote]
