[quote=Anonymous]They need to switch to easier classes in language school, if that's an option. If they're in over their heads, the school is no use. If they have no vocabulary, you have to start small- eg dinner table talk - bread, water, bring the plates, pass the salt, would you like some milk. And of course nothing helps like total immersion - a month spent in the country where they have to speak to their grandparents and cousins. If they're old enough, look into camps - a lot of countries run language camps for children. If the popular books for elementary kids - captain underpants, wimpy kid etc exist in the target language, try to get them and read both languages together.[/quote]
