About helping in the classroom... alas is not possible since I speak very little Dutch... Actually, I never thought that the language would be a barrier for me!
Hi Isa,
I agree with Grinity. I think it would be great to help in the classroom. I volunteer in my dd's classroom on occassion and I don't speak the language of instruction (Spanish). My daughter's Spanish far exteeded mine after her first semester in kindergarten. Now in 3rd grade she is fluent and I am still just picking out words. As long as you can communicate with the teacher and she does not object, it can be quite an educational experience. You can get a real idea of what is happening in the classroom and benefit from exposure to the language.
