Is this opportunity worth it?
Hello,
Have an opportunity for my English speaking 5 year old to spend 1 year part time (2 days a week) in a Spanish immersion program. They would then go the following year to an English speaking elementary school. Nobody at home speaks English. We have a bunch of friends whose little kids are in Spanish immersion and speak Spanish but those little ones currently do not want to speak Spanish at home/outside of their Spanish immersion school. So we don't naturally have a source for them to practice with.
Is this too little time for my 5 year old to adjust, considering they are not going to a Spanish immersion elementary school? Will they not get much out of this and best to look for other opportunities? We have a lot of people in our social group who successfully learned 2nd/3rd language in middle schooll/high school here, so may wait for that. Moreso wondering if this opportunity itself was worth it.
Thank you.
