<p>So when I get older, one of my goals is to open up an immersion school. I don't believe that there are currently any in the state of South Carolina and I think that's a shame. I always wished that I had gone to one.</p>
<p>So if you went to one, what were your experiences? Are you truly fluent? Do you sound weird in that language? I assume you speak English normally... but if not... What's your accent like? Did it hurt your English?</p>
<p>That would have been SO AMAZING if I had that opportunity. I’m in French 4 and Spanish 1 and want to continue both and possibly a third throughout college, but I don’t think I’ll ever be fluent.</p>
<p>I love foreign language. An immersion school seems like the most awesome thing ever…</p>
<p>I know seriously.</p>
<p>I’m completely jealous.</p>
<p>I’m in AP French. I took six years of Spanish. And I took four years of Latin. What can I say for myself now? Oh yeah. I’m still struggling to grasp these languages. I actually pretty much know no Spanish… It’s very unfortunate. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>Yeah, like I’m not that bad at French, if I stop and think before I say something. (Simple sentences only though, lol) but if I went to a French-speaking country I would be totally lost.</p>
<p>And I’m only doing well in Spanish because my French helps me. xD I need more practice…</p>
<p>Latin seems cool. My brother is taking that. I want to take a dead language. Like Sanskrit. 
</p>
<p>Never even heard of one until I learned about Middlebury’s summer programs. Now I really want to try one. My only concern would be that I couldn’t listen to my favorite music or call my family because I would have to do both in English.</p>
<p>If I could I would learn like the most ridiculous language, though. Like Kurdish or Zulu or something completely random. I love languages. haha</p>
<p>I just wish I had started German earlier, because starting in high school guarantees that I’ll never be fully fluent / never pick up the German accent like I wish I could.</p>
<p>EDIT: Although I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty damn good at German. Best at my school. I can hold a conversation with the German exchange student pretty well and everything. I think it’s because my teacher requires all students in their third year and up to speak only German while in class. Pretty awesome stuff.</p>
<p>
It’s always reassuring for Kurdish immigrants when they know there’s a person fluent in Kurdish in the student body at their new school :)</p>
<p>^^I forgot about the Middlebury programs. They’re opening one here this summer, but it’s like $5000 so there’s no way I’m doing that…</p>
<p>But I’m talking about schools like these: <a href=“http://schools.cms.k12.nc.us/smithMS/Pages/Default.aspx[/url]”>http://schools.cms.k12.nc.us/smithMS/Pages/Default.aspx</a></p>
<p>Most big cities have them… Charlotte has several.</p>
<p>I wish. As long as it’s the live-at-home variety, then you’ll have native English skills, and be fluent in at least one other language. I’m especially envious of people who go to schools for languages that are extra-difficult to pick up, like Mandarin.</p>
