[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for sharing your experience, PP. there’s really nothing nasty to respond to your post. But it really doesn’t answer OP’s question- what’s the best way to prepare for Mandarin immersion? I think the question of the kind of immersion experience YY provides has been thoroughly hashed put in multiple threads. Two-way immersion programs may lead to greater proficiency but that doesn’t mean there aren’t benefits to immersion programs that aren’t two-way. [/quote]

Back to answering OP's question, immersion is obviously the best way to prepare for immersion.

Bona fide Mandarin immersion (vs. 1-way "immersion") isn't what YY offers.  So no need to prepare, and no point really IMHO if you're trying to prepare without being able to prepare via immersion for a toddler.[/quote]

Thank you!! I've read that the first few weeks or months will be very difficult for children, and I just wanted to try to avoid that. I don't want him to be upset and crying, because he doesn't want to go to school. I don't want to be upset and crying, because he's upset.  I want this to be an enjoyable experience for our whole family. [/quote]
