I don’t have anything to add about the repeat decision. But, I would just like to jump in and support OP son here. I myself lived in a foreign country and did plenty of reading and talking and living in the foreign language and 4 years later, I was not as caught up as I would have liked. Please know that 4 years can feel like nothing in the world of living in a whole new language and I say kudos to your son for doing it. Not sure if @parentologist you have yourself done this, but it is really harder than you made it sound, in my personal experience. (And, I’ll add that this was my 3rd language, as I grew up bilingual, so I was very inclined toward being good at language acquisition.)
