What type of program did you use for your five year old for language acquisition? I want to start a similar course of language with my three year old. Were you programmatic or was it just immersion? Curious if you have any resources. For context, the language I want to teach is Spanish. It’s a second language for me and I’m reasonably fluent after a dozen years of school and several months of immersion in South America. I’m a few years out of practice, however… Thanks!
Just immersion. I did some Duolingo for myself so I would be able to speak some to her, but the rest was just letting her see films in the language like 2-3 hrs a week for two years. Then we found her friends who spoke the language—let her play with them for like 100 hrs. Now she’s pretty fluent, at the level of a native kid a year younger than her or so.
