Ds6 takes French at his school as part of the curriculum -- I liked that it's a little more challenging than Spanish, where the phonics are almost identical to English. The French provides a bit more challenge for him.

Plus, the French class is much smaller than the Spanish class -- more individualized instruction, more time for each time. You might want to look at enrollment in the classes and find one with fairly low enrollment -- that allows for more time for speaking per child.

What languages are you considering?
