Default Re: Learning 3 languages

You're welcome.
I forgot to add a reply to Shari's post. English language learning is a major subject here, as it is in all of East Asia (Taiwan, China, Korea, Japan) and is one of the 3 main subjects for elementary aged students (the others being Chinese and Math). My daughter studies English in her school twice a week. The cirriculmn is well thought out, has a CD. But it doesn't come close to giving students any real language ability unless they are especially talented in language studies. A problem which vexes the education programs in all of East Asia.
