[quote=Anonymous]Mandarin, at Language Stars so far, for our 4.5yo, because :

1)  She was adopted from China
2)  I figure it is the hardest language to pick up and absorb around here, absent being put in a formal program.  Spanish, yeah, you do hear it a LOT (and I love Spanish, do not get me wrong; that is what I learned in school) but I figured there are so many other optys to learn Spanish, whereas there are not many unless I put her in a school.

I think when she enters K, I can put her in one of the Saturday morning Chinese schools which I believe will be less $$$.  But I do know that she'll be at a disadvantage amongst other Chinese kiddos there whose parents speak it in the home.  :(  But she was adopted at age 3, and then we started Lang. Stars at 4, so I am hoping that there is some vestigal recognition there that will be cultivated by this year in LS, and then we'll move up to the Chinese Sat. schools.

Shrug.  We'll see!  This is a learning process for me as a parent, that is for sure!  I look forward to reading other parents' input....[/quote]
