Seriously mind-blowing
I know children are sponges when it comes to languages, but sometimes it's hard to figure out just how much DD is picking up of French. She's been in school about 4 weeks here and can count, say some colors and say basic polite phrases like "my name is," "how are you," "have a nice day," etc. Seems pretty normal, but she just completely astounded me by repeating a conversation I had with the director of her school today, in English, when I had the conversation in French! She understands so much more than I have been giving her credit for...
Re: Seriously mind-blowing
That's great!
I really wish I learned another language when I was young.
Bio
She'll be 4 in May. The big question is how to keep up her French once we move back to the U.S., but we'll figure it out somehow.
I think you could be surprised what could be available to you in NYC for French speakers her age.
I know I'm surprised by what is offered in Chicago for German. There is even a French International School downtown.

I know there will be tons of options, it's just a matter of finding something that works schedule and distance-wise and prioritizing between everything else- ballet classes (she looooves ballet), play dates, etc. and fitting it all in.
Totally understand! Does she take ballet in Paris? I loved taking ballet classes as a kid and took them till I graduated HS. Hopefully, you find the right balance when you are back.

Yes, it was one of the things we looked at in addition to looking for apartments and pre-school. She's at the Academie Americaine de Danse Paris and loves it!
