I think it’s a great option for those of have who don’t have access to a dual language immersion education, but it’s impossible to know how it’ll all work out until you hire a tutor and your child has a few lessons. So, I’ll share our experience for sure!

We recently had to move away from my son’s dual language montessori school (because of a job change to another city) and I’ve been wondering how we’re going to manage, as he was learning to read in Spanish first, but that won’t be the case this year. I’m afraid it might confuse him some, but if it looks like you’re having a good experience with the private tutor (something I hadn’t actually thought about) that might be something we try, as neither of us has any training in teaching reading skills or elementary ed.

Be sure to instill a pride in the culture and identity of Spanish-speaking peoples and their histories so that the child will be proud to use the language and not ashamed in the face of peer pressure.

Here in Spain children can even go to the local school, and get extra support from the Spanish language school. We have had several families from the USA staying between 3 months to a year. In case of interest more general information:

At the Spanish Language School in South Spain, we offer programs for children, teenagers and adults, private and intensive courses. Families that woud like to stay a longer period of time, can sign up the children for the local school in town. There are after school activities all year around, and a summer camp during the summer months. We will support you all the way (accommodation, school, internet and such), and can provide references. The town is a great place for families: safe, local, great beach, small mostly Spanish population, and a great climate all year around. A unique concept for families looking to really immerse into the Spanish language and culture. More info: http://www.spanish-school-herradura.com or contact us: info@spanish-school-herradura.com
