[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best thing about DCI is that PP won’t be there and isn’t there now. [/quote]

The joke 's still on you, hon.  Come on, be a sport this year, hold your nose and tolerate obnoxious parents of kids who speak fluently if you want yours to have the ethnic inputs needed to really speak the language.  Sorry, no way around it.[/quote]

My children speak three languages fluently honey. We just don’t waste our time on Chinese or posting and reposting advertisements for Concordia camps.

Enjoy living in polluted China. Yuck. [/quote]

Has anybody here at DCI actually sent their kid to a Concordia camp?  Looks good on their web site but I wonder.[/quote]

We sent a child, age 11, to Concordia for 2 weeks (Mandarin). Ultimately great experience but hard slog. Kid's Chinese (especially spoken) did not measure up nearly as well as expected. Our boy hung in there and benefited, making us proud. We did not go on to DCI and now enroll in MoCo weekend program w/many native speakers.[/quote]
