[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We (amazingly) are likely to get in for 1st grade next year.  I didn't even visit because I thought the chances of us getting in were probably slim to none.

Now that I'm here, what would it be like for my child that has some (but not bilingual) Spanish to enter at this grade level?[/quote]

Way to set your kid up for failure!  I guess it's more important for you to brag to your coworkers that your kid goes to an immersion school than actually, you know, doing what's best for your child. Best of luck to your kid. They'll need it. [/quote]

It's Spanish, not Chinese.  There are a lot of resources OP can utilize to help her DC acclimate.  Settle down.[/quote]

I'm detecting a bit of racism here. It's just Spanish right?  I mean the cleaning lady speaks it. Can't be that hard. [/quote]
How about: it's an Indo-European language with strong overlap with the Latinate portion of English vocabulary, and it's fairly easy to get materials in that language produced for fluent American kids?

Or are you the unhinged one again?[/quote]

Are you the one who also said the slurs against the mentally ill too?  Racist and mean. Good combo. Your kids must be proud. [/quote]
Are you unfamiliar with language families? Spanish and English each evolved from the prehistoric language known as Proto-Indo-European. Members of this language family share similar grammar traits and some cognate words. Because England was invaded by speakers of early Medieval French, which was only a few centuries removed from late Latin, which Spanish evolved from, there's unusual vocabulary overlap. Speakers of Spanish and English have an easier time learning each others' languages.

Mandarin is not an Indo-European language. Native speakers of an Indo-European language will have a much harder time with it.[/quote]
