[quote=Anonymous]I sympathize, OP. I am dyslexic and my kid is dyslexic. Learning another language from books and “study” is not happening for either of us. That said, he took foreign language in elementary school (hated it, learned a few colors and numbers and that’s it) and then didn’t take it though middle school and high school. It is required in college and he’s actually sort of looking forward to it. I’ve learned three other languages over the years, two to fluency, through immersion. I know this isn’t what you were asking, but when talking with your kid you might be careful in how you frame language learning. If they want to learn another language they absolutely can! They may need a different methodology, though. Both my son and I have phonological deficits that come with dyslexia and yet we are both really good mimics of sounds and accents. I have no idea how that works, but it actually is super helpful in language learning. So you never know.[/quote]
