| Agree with GreatLakesmom. My D went to Nantes, France last year with IES -- a total immersion program. Did a homestay, tried not to hang out with Americans, did an internship, took courses at local university. Her fluency went way up! On other hand, my son is in Germany now with his Univ program -- taught in English. He lives in dorm with other Americans. His German is not improving too much. |
