[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the idea of Spanish immersion but DH is not a fan. What are your thoughts on Spanish immersion?[/quote] To answer the original question...immersion brings two significant benefits: - faster acquisition of second language, which will be a crucial asset, personally and professionally, for any person n the XXI century - faster development of executive functions and cognitive flexibility Now, to achieve the real benefits one must really practice for years, not just attend a few classes...so you must select a language which DC may be able to practice in and outside school. Whether that is Spanish, Mandarin, or Russian, that will depend upon your specific roots/ neighbors/ careers/ travel interests... As "enlightened" PPs have posted, Spanish is a great potential option, but not the only one. But any immersion, in the long term, is likely to be better than none.[/quote]
