[quote=Anonymous]To the person, asking literally "how could you?", there are other ways than immersion to become fluent in multiple languages. I'm not convinced that immersion is necessarily the best way, surely not for everyone. Immersion isn't a magic wand that you can wave over your child's head to give her/him "the gift". Language development is more complex than that. For example, I speak and write four languages pretty fluently and wrote my Ph.D. in a foreign language. But was never in an immersion school. I learned them as second languages in school, starting in middle school. I traveled with my parents for vacation and did an exchange year in high school as well as in college.[/quote]
