[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Foreign language instruction in the US is generally terrible. I was very surprised that my niece (who does not speak English as a native language and takes it in school) could speak as well as she does with my daughter (who completely understands Spanish but is resistant to actually speaking in it). [b]Very rare that a 9-year-old in the US would have any level of foreign language ability.[/b][/quote] lol no it’s not[/quote] I’m talking about non-native ability. Obviously there are plenty of bilingual children. But rare that a child would learn a language in school to this extent.[/quote]
