[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But if the third language is not started before that key period (before adolescence) it will not be easily learned by the kids and they won't achieve native fluency. [/quote] The school doesn't expect native fluency in the 3rd language, and I think it's too much to expect kids to learn a 3rd language while still learning grade level social studies and math etc. in the target language. Name some effective examples of specific schools that start 2 new languages in early elementary and have kids stay at grade level throughout high school and also achieve native fluency in 3 languages (incl English) by graduations from 12th grade?[/quote] That may be true for kids learning the second language, but for kids already bilingual (as many Spanish speakers already are) the third language would be their learning experience. Why can't this be accommodated.[/quote]
