[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child will be entering PreK 4. I hope he will do well as this will be his third language next to English and Spanish.[/quote] Sorry, but if your kids don't have real Spanish exposure at school they won't be able to read, write, and probably not even speak proper Spanish over time.[/quote] What a stupid thing to speculate on. You have no idea what this child's Spanish language skills are or will be.[/quote] You have no idea about the research that informs such "speculation," do you? (Or, worse, perhaps both words mean the same to you?)[/quote] Speculating that someone who speaks Spanish at home will never be able to read it, write it or probably even speak it (?) because they are at a Hebrew immersion school is completely stupid. Yes, you have to work at the home language if you're not studying it at school, but to assume that's impossible for this family makes you look like a condescending jerk. (And yes, I do know of what I speak since I was shuttled off to various friends and relatives throughout my teens to work on Spanish and German when we were living in Italy.)[/quote] Please read with care the original comment you are responding to. It seems you haven't understood it. Ah - feel free to write a thoughtful next post in Spanish and German, including sharing a couple good books you have just read in both languages.[/quote]
