[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone come up with any alternatives for picking up a language if their kid didn’t get in to an immersion program? I know we’re not going to match that if we strike out again in 1st, but there must be other ways to get some meaningful exposure to foreign languages before middle school.[/quote] The lottery process sucks, but there are lots of ways to get exposure to other languages: 1. [for French anyway] Saturday School and camps/weekday classes at French Academy (locations in DC, MD, VA or online) 2. Many elementary schools have after-school clubs that include language classes; these are not as rigorous as #1 but can be a nice introduction to foreign language 3. Language learning apps for kids - we like Little Pim 4. Foreign-language kids' shows on Netflix or Amazon prime (or change the language settings) 5. Easy reader books that come with a CD so your kid can listen along[/quote]
