But, to quote a friend ...Amie, <BR/><BR/>She won't retain it. But, to quote a friend here:<BR/>"When she's breezing through Spanish and her friends are struggling w/it, she won't understand why they are having such a hard time." <BR/><BR/>There is some belief that even if a child doesn't retain language learned the way Olivia is, that part of their brain was stimulated well enough and long enough to make a learning language difference down the road. Whether this will be Olivia's case, remains to be seen.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491605584777030663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746374382530887082.post-91052009677942245282008-09-24T16:31:00.000+01:002008-09-24T16:31:00.000+01:00Oh how cute!!

They all spoke Spanish (which was helpful for the conversing with the locals and resort staff) along with their native (either German, Italian, French, etc) language as well at a minimum. We were embarrassed that we did not understand anything but English! <BR/><BR/>It is wonderful that Olivia and Lila are being immersed in a different language at this age. The challenge will be getting them to retain what they know while in the US!Amiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317379572301669011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746374382530887082.post-63718439377325270742008-09-24T15:20:00.000+01:002008-09-24T15:20:00.000+01:00It is wonderful that she is learning another langu...It is wonderful that she is learning another language. Your Dad didn't get that opportunity and he is upset about it to this day. She is only 3 and a half, just think of the languages that she might learn before Matt Retires...!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746374382530887082.post-87404013477239902292008-09-24T14:15:00.000+01:002008-09-24T14:15:00.000+01:00I'm glad she's having fun and picking up the langu...I'm glad she's having fun and picking up the language so well.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032643114891805710noreply@blogger.com
