[QUOTE="Malika, post: 475277, member: 11227"] Thanks for your thoughts, Marg. by the way, Jacob is 4, not 6! Yes, I could help him with his French, I guess - hadn't thought of this, actually.... Labelling things won't help as he doesn't read at all yet (they approach reading very slowly in France) but I could certainly devise some game where we have to think of an adjective for feminine nouns to work on gender and noun/adjective agreement. He may not actually do the masculine noun thing any more - trouble is, I don't really hear him speaking French that often, but I will listen carefully next time I hear him. Ktllc, I wish it were as simple as just enrolling J in the bilingual school... If he were an ordinary child, I would up sticks and move to the part of France where I want to be without a thought. But, you know, transitions are so difficult. For any child, being uprooted from the familiar, from friends, is difficult but so much more so in our cases... He loves his little world of the village school where he is definitely integrated now - if he were to leave, it would leave a definite hole. Maybe a more peaceful hole, but his absence would definitely be felt :) So it is a big decision and I'd have to be really sure the positives outweighed the negatives. [/QUOTE]
