[quote=Anonymous]You often hear about the "2 years of full immersion fix" from lower grades YY parents these days, because admins have been selling it for 4 or 5 years. The pitch mainly comes from a HOS who doesn't speak any language but English well. People who were raised bilingual but no longer speak or understand one of the languages very well as adults know better. The reality is that a child needs serious and sustained immersion inputs until at least age 10 or 11 year round for an level of proficiency/fluency to take root and stick. [/quote]
