[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And as for my question about whether knowing a little bit of the target language is helpful? Anyone know the answer? [/quote]

It doesn’t matter — they will select kids from all language levels. For example, a group of absolute beginners will be grouped together and sent to one location, intermediates to a second location, and advanced students to a third. A strong interest in rigorous language immersion is more important than prior knowledge. My kid did do virtual NSLI-Y first — it’s a great way to show commitment and interest in the language.[/quote]

This is not accurate for last year. My kid did Chinese and there were 24 kids in the group. 8 beginner/8 intermediate/8 advanced.  Same location and cohort. But 3 different classes. Amazing 8:1 student teacher ratio for hours of intense study. [/quote]

I think you meant to say that the Chinese program is all in one location. Russian is split between multiple locations. So it’s accurate for Russian.[/quote]
