Hi All,
If you look at my previous thread http://www.r2iclubforums.com/forums/showthread.php/28710-R2I-In-2014-with-7-year-old-kid-Can-i-put-hs-for-ier-in-std-1 you can see that i am totally confused regarding making a decision :e. Anyways i have been reading a lot on the forums and one of the key things i have noticed is that for kids @9 years the key pain point seems to be the language in school.. is that correct? Has anyone tried to alleviate the issue by starting language classes (Hindi,Marathi in my case) from right here in US? In our area couple of tutors are available to teach at a price...so now debating if i should stay till 2016 apply USC while taking pro active steps to reduce some of the burden by teaching the 2nd language now. So the question is
1) Has anyone tried that and does it help?
2) Does it sound like a good idea?
