[quote=Anonymous]My son is in a Spanish immersion program (preK-3 last year), virtual prek-4 this year. He is a simultaneous bilingual (Dad speaks Spanish only to him) plus he was in an in-home daycare where only Spanish was spoken. His spanish immersion program tries to get at least 1/3 native speakers but struggles to get that number. The ones they have are also somewhat passive in their understanding (meaning they don't actually speak in Spanish much.) His class this year actually has a few more (I only know this from some spying on online class where my son actually barely speaks as well even though he is extremely fluent.) Anyway all that to say is I am sure there are a few times he is a bit bored, but they are learning things hes needs to learn anyway as he is only 3-4 years old. Having a child be bilingual is extremely hard in the US and it is a huge goal of ours to do everything we can to keep him bilingual. If your child is not in a setting where he is getting the language, he will lose much of it in a year (not that he cant get it back.) So if you want him to keep up the language, then definitely need to be in Dual LAnguage.[/quote]
