FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Spanish immersion integrates two languages within the same curriculum to promote bilingual skills. Its effectiveness stems from mimicking the natural language acquisition process, fostering vocabulary building and grammatical proficiency. Research indicates that immersion leads to native-like brain processing of grammar, surpassing traditional classroom exposure.
Absolutely not! In fact, studies consistently show that learning a second language can actually boost a child’s proficiency in English. When children engage with multiple languages, they gain a deeper understanding of language structure and grammar, which naturally extends to their grasp of English. Furthermore, exposure to diverse vocabulary enriches their linguistic capabilities, aiding in the comprehension and acquisition of new words in English. Rather than hindering development, embracing multilingualism empowers children to become more adept communicators and fosters a broader appreciation for language and culture.
