[quote=Anonymous]Not at YY, but another chiming in to say that perfect fluency isn't always the sole goal of parents who put their kids in language immersion--to assume that is myopic, IMO. I'm also interested in the reported cognitive benefits that come from being able to learn and switch between two different languages. Both husband and I are interested in the opportunity to expand our kid's worldview and expose her to different cultures in which the language is spoken. We'll do what we can to support fluency, but our goal isn't perfect native fluency by age 17.[/quote]
