Let your children run and play with local children. It is truly amazing how quickly children learn another language.
We once lived in Belize and have now lived in Mexico for almost three years. Initially, I was very worried about my boys learning Spanish and how they would do in school. Both my boys now speak Spanish, almost fluently, and are both doing very well in school.
The little turkeys are often my translators.
I have tutors for both my boys ( they are six and nine) mostly to help them learn to say vowels correctly in Spanish.
As parents, we often worry too much.
