[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually had a FL tutor for my kid in the summer after 5th grade, before he began 6th grade.  I had a friend who is FL teacher in MCPS and she had confided that even in Spanish 1A/B and Spanish 2A/B, they are never able to complete the full syllabus.   So the tutor covered a whole quarter worth of syllabus but did a deep dive during summer.

Spanish 1 and 2 are super easy, so it was very easy to go indepth with a tutor and really build a superb vocabulary for my kid. Anyhow, my kid went all the way to Spanish AP in 10th grade, and was always working on advance stuff because of the support outside the school.  He is quite fluent in Spanish due to the 5 years in school and the 3 years of tutoring support in MS.   He does not get too much chance to practice the language now and unfortunately he did not take FL in college. However, he listens to a lot of Spanish music and watches programs in Spanish, so who knows?[/quote]

OP here. This is pretty funny - so it was very easy for your kid because you hired a tutor before they even started 6th grade and they always had support outside of school?[/quote]
