[quote=Anonymous]My number one preference has been Spanish for my kids. I feel strongly as I have lived overseas in a Spanish speaking country and I still struggled greatly to learn it as an adult. Plus it's such a great skill to have for many jobs currently, and I don't see that changing. We are overseas again in another Spanish speaking country and hope both kids will learn it here. My older kids school is mainly in English but there is plenty of Spanish spoken socially amongst kids, plus an hour a day of Spanish class. They also do a once a week class of french. I wasn't thrilled with my kid having to learn 2 languages simultaneously at first but the point is just to get the ears sensitive to the sounds of that language rather than full fluency, the school claims it makes it later to pick up again later if desired.
