Going into a language immersion setting for the first time can be overwhelming for a child, especially older children, and understandably so! As adults we can totally identify with this. However, unlike adults, children can adapt to an immersion setting rather quickly as their language learning skills are still extremely sharp. We of course want our young kids to take advantage of those sharp language skills by gaining exposure to a language as early as possible.
So perhaps that’s where you find yourself now; you’ve enrolled your child in a language immersion program, (maybe one of ours?) but you’re feeling a little apprehensive about how the first few times are going to go. Completely normal to feel that way, but how do you approach this topic with your little one? In this episode, we share some tips that we think will help make this new experience as seamless as possible. :)
