[quote=WillardD][quote=Anonymous]I have world bank friends who just did this. They enrolled their 4 and 6 year old in some intense English classes for 4 months before they moved. Dad is bilingual, mom is not fluent in English. It is going well for them, but they also don’t use the social structure of school community on the weekends, they mostly just hang out with other world bank families, some of whom speak Japanese. They think a few years of English immersion will be great for their kids though. [/quote] So great to hear this. Almost similar situations, though my spouse is fluent enough. Did they go to public schools in DC near World Bank? Yeah, we will probably not stay long term in the US but also thinking that a couple of years in the US and learning the language would be a great experience for them. Intensive English lessons prior to moving seems to be a great idea![/quote]
