[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do the Saturday morning german school, and read at least one book a night to our kid in german. He's picking up a bunch. Bonus: you could take classes too and learn! [/quote]

This program sounds amazing to me. I floated it to DH for our 4yo and he thought it sounded torturously boring for a little kid. From what I recall of my own childhood (nobody in my family was bilingual and foreign languages were always fascinating, remote secrets I craved -- a real forbidden cup of knowledge for me) I would have eaten this up, but my recollection doesn't go back to age 4.[/quote]

Why does he think it'd be boring? The kids seem to have fun - sing songs, play games, have a break for a snack and to run around outside for a few when the weather is nice. It's like any preschool class, really. It's not like they are sitting there conjugating verbs and trying to remember genders at 4YO! It's on the $$ side, but mine seems to enjoy it. My husband enjoys the cake that is always for sale in the cafeteria! :)

They also have various cultural events for holidays - christmas market, a parade for St. Martin's day, etc. that my kids have liked. [/quote]
