My kid has been in a Spanish immersion program from 6 mos old to 5.5 years old. She does now speak Spanish, but not at home, since we are English-only capable.
Now -- she is entering a French immersion Kindergarten.
We don't want her to totally lose her Spanish, and are sort of heartbroken at her not continuing.
Therefore, we've found an afterschool Spanish immersion program that has room for her two days a week (approx 6 hours weekly).
Not sure the level of rigor. I am imagining (and totally ok with) normal kid activities that just happen to occur in the Spanish language. The program is geared toward kids with an existing Intermediate to Advanced Spanish level. I have no idea how many native speakers will be in the kid group.
My question -- is this enough time to maintain the language? Looking for any thoughts or guidance on what sort of volume or cadence would help her keep up her Spanish?
