Which language should my baby study?

My daughter was chosen in a computerized lottery of 800 Kindergarten students to attend LaSalle Language Academy (One of the top Magnet Schools in Chicago). Yay!!!
I am soooo ecstatic!!!!

Although there are 5 languages to chose from, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Chinese. I can only chose one and that language is what her concentration will be on through 8th grade.

I am thinking Spanish as it is the second language here in the US. However I know intermediate French and love the language. I could teach her that I guess along with Hebrew.

Oh and 7-8 graders do a 2 week student exchange in the country of the language they learn.


Vote people Vote!!!

Hey there QS I definitely think spanish always good to learn,however French is a very great language also!

Spanish is what I vote too! However, what does SHE want to study? Did you let her look over the different languages in print and let her listen to the sound of the different languages? She can be drawn to one language over another for personal reasons. Let the language choose her in this case. Whatever one she is drawn to will be the BEST choice for her!

Congrats!!!!

If you can teach her french, I vote for spanish..and it is your second language...
Ours is french in Canada...I can't speak a word of it...

LOL!!! Thanks guys.

TJ, she is 5. She has no idea which. LOL!!! So I am thinking Spanish and most votes here and the scorp board, and my friends who I sent personal emails to vote Spanish and Chinese as the second choice.

Yay!!!

Spanish sounds like a perfect idea.

QS, as I said in my email to you, I think Spanish. If you are intermediate French, she can learn from you and you can learn Spanish from her. That way, you both can be semi-trilingual! THat's my take.

Most English words are derived from Latin aren't they?
