So glad to see the school choice might be a good one. As for speaking in the second language, give her time. DD was slow to speak it too but comprehended it by the first week. It took her teacher saying sorry I don't understand you for her to speak. Of course DD tried another option before giving in which was to have her classmates translate for her. LOL But by a month she was speaking with no problems. I suspect the teachers will give her a little time before they expect her to talk to them and through that she will become comfortable with it all.
