[quote=Anonymous]It takes a lot of commitment and persistence from the adults at home. Basically only allow media in that language and the parents force the child to speak correctly in that language. They should do that NOW before the kid has homework which needs to be discussed in English, as well as too many playdates :-) My teens speak and write well enough to be fully understood, but everyone can tell they are "foreigners". They often use a stilted syntax which comes from translating from English, and don't have a perfect accent. They have been going to our weekend language school for years, but we have not been as consistent as we should have been at home. Word to the wise! [/quote]
