[quote=Anonymous]I must second the PP who said that your average to above average child will do fine in YY Chinese without extraordinary measures. One of my children does. The other one is not blessed with very good language skills and he struggles. We work very hard, I supplement and we do all of the things they recommend on the portal. But YY is set up so that average kids can succeed in Chinese there without outside exchange programs and tutors. Will the kids who receive those extras do better? Well of course they will. If your goal is full fluency and you don't speak it at home you either need an exceptional student or you need to go above and beyond. 
In our situation we decided that fluency will come over a greater period of time and will require a sustained investment well into adulthood. I imagine that there will come a point when our oldest will take over and assume the lead on this. Right now we are creating the gateway for this, but without family or business interests in China at this time we don't have an embedded connection. For our younger child fluency may never come or it will be a very long and difficult road. The general benefits of comprehensive language instruction are what keeps us at YY with that child.[/quote]
