All the talk about foreign languages has gotten me to thinking. I have two boys ages 6 1/2 and almost 6. (My now 19yo did Latin in high school.) I'm wondering which language to choose for them. We returned home two weeks ago with my almost 6yo from China, so right now he's speaking Chinese almost exclusively, but he'll lose that in short order (I hope.) I really don't want to do Chinese for our language...I really don't. I really dislilke the sound of the language and it's hard for me to wrap my tongue around many of the sounds. We have two very special guys in France who were exchange students so I would love to do French. I also had that in high school and loved it, but it wouldn't be very practical around here. Spanish would be the most practical because there are a lot of Mexican folks here. I also know that just "learning" a foreign language does NOT mean you can actually TALK to those people! It was so funny to see people who were "fluent" in French try to talk to our French boys and they couldn't understand a word that person was saying! LOL!!
So how do you decide? And I love the looks of Easy French/Spanish. I know someone said it was kind of silly but I have young boys and I love that it's Christian based. Thoughts?
