leahcim132 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 When I was a kid in Canada, I attended French immersion school. Pretty much everything was in French (obviously English was taught in English lol). It was a good experience .Any of you attended immersion school?

polybus Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I did not attend a French Immersion school, but I have several friends that did.This is a discussion that my wife and I have been having lately. Should we enroll our child in French Immersion? We still have a few years to decide, but we are having a tough time deciding.What is your impression of the program leahcim132, since you went through it yourself?

mitchellgrzechnik Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I took French immersion at school. I think it was an awesome program. Knowing French in Canada is a huge advantage especially in terms of obtaining employment. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that learning a second language at a young age can drastically improve a child's cognitive development.

SpringBreeze Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 No, I didn't but I wish I had. I almost got a chance to study in such a program in the south of France. I was a tie between two study abroad programs. One in Montpellier and one in Cannes. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the enough money for it and I didn't get the scholarship I had applied for. Anyway, that would have definitely changed my life. I can just imagine how fluent I'd be if I had done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikao1o Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I attended a French immersion school from kindergarten to grade 12! I'm really glad that my parents enrolled me in it, although sometimes I did find the work to be frustrating and difficult. It can be tough to have to write a five page paper in a foreign language, when your friends that go to a different school get to write the paper in their mother tongue!Overall, I love that I have a decent grasp of the French language. I'm working on getting my French up to where it used to be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaase Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I never attended a French immersion school. I don't think that they were around when I was a child in school, but I do see that these types of schools are now available in Ghana. I think it is an interesting concept and one that should be taken advantage of if you can afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
