[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Great point. Also, many people seem a bit misinformed about "the benefits of immersion." There are measurable cognitive benefits derived from speaking more than one language, but the key driver is not "immersion" per se, but sustained practice over time. Meaning, immersing our kids in a language they are not likely to use is pretty much a waste of time and attention, compared to devoting same effort to other languages or educational priorities.[/quote] IMO I think immersing a child in a language, even a lesser spoke language, is [b]not[/b] a waste of time since such activity is likely to increase a child's brain power. My family member learned German via immersion as a child and is hence fluent in English and German and his brain power is quite good too![/quote]
