[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you do the whole Mundo Verde, Stokes, YY, LAMB, DCB track you will end with three languages. Or you could do what we do and put them in one of these feeder schools and go to our heritage language school on the weekend. [/quote]

No, if your child goes from a feeder to DCI, they will get two languages (English plus the target language, and *maybe* exposure to a third language).  DCI expects students to continue studying the target language that they started in the feeder.  If your child is doing well in that language, they can start taking a class in another (beginner) language beginning in 6th grade.[/quote]

Let's do some math.

One language at your elementary school (spanish, French, or chinese) plus one additional language at DCI, plus the English language equals... Three languages. [/quote]

Yes, I know.  It's immerion in two languages, plus exposure (maybe) to a third.  Not all DCI students will take a third language at all.

Umm not true.  You have your target language from the feeder, then the English language, and then a second foreign language. Trilingual. [/quote]
