I hope some of the suggestions were helpful - play, music, getting on the child's level, picture cards, pair up with a friend, etc... It has been my experience that with total immersion at the preschool age children pick up the language very quickly - especially comprehension of key words. It is ashame that people struggle to come to America and refuse to make an attempt to speak the language - if only to communicate with their child's teacher! I respect maintaing one's culture. I ask that non-English speaking Americans also respect that we are all working together for the better good of their children. It is amazing how many parents never "looked at it that way." Best wishes. Name: Email: Subject
