[quote=Anonymous]I am white American, but I spent some early years of my life in Latin America. Moved back to the U.S. When I was 5ish. I had Spanish au pairs and when I got to high school, I took IB French, got a 5 on the exam, minored in French in college and studied abroad. I became completely fluent and most French speakers have no idea that I am not French. I managed to retain my excellent Spanish accent that I got when I was 4 and in a "total immersion setting". Just saying, it can definitely be done. If you learn Spanish and have a truely bilingual education and then learn another language later- you can definitely become trilingual like me.  I don't think it's very hard. If you're rich enough to support the language (au pairs, foreign summer camps, vacations, tutors if necessary), you can have a Trilingual kid for sure.

Side note- not sure why people keep posting about wis. I was strongly considering it for my kids but declined to even apply for many reasons. No point in discussing them here because it's the PUBLIC schools forum, but it's a ton of money and it has its issues. Before everyone here automatically thinks WIS is the be all end all, do some research on the private school section. [/quote]
