[quote=Anonymous]I am from DC abroad in a Spanish speaking country. My kindergartener goes to an immersion English program where most of the kids speak Spanish socially but the school is taught in English (except Spanish class and a few of the specials classes). He's probably getting around 8-10 hours a week of Spanish exposure and has learned a lot, but still only understands maybe 25% and is by no means fluent. We're looking into getting a tutor to move things along, and when our assignment is over I'm looking into Saturday school options but I'm not sure 3 hours a week is going to be enough to retain it honestly. Your child isn't going to get much with just one hour a week. My child's school also has French once a week and all he can do so far is count 1-10. They've covered months of the year, seasons, colors, some animals as well but none of that has stuck. [/quote]
