Speaker 1, an unidentified presenter, said the dual-language immersion program aims for students to "be fluent in 2 languages, in English and in Spanish," including the ability to read and write in both languages by the end of elementary school.
The presenter outlined the daily logistics: "So the way the program works is you're gonna have, English during the first half of the day, and then you're gonna have Spanish during the second half of the day," and explained that the schedule rotates so some days begin in Spanish and others in English. The presenter reiterated that teachers follow the same curriculum pace across languages rather than repeating lessons the next day.
Speaker 2, identified in the transcript as a parent/commenter, described the effect on their child: "learning that language is... just amazing" and said the DLI program "brings" an extra academic challenge that stimulates different ways of thinking. Speaker 2 also praised staff, saying the "Spanish speaking and the English" teachers "work so well together as a team, and the children really benefit from it."
Speaker 1 emphasized developmental benefits, citing early brain growth as an advantage for learning a second language and arguing the program helps students become problem solvers: "They're gonna be exposed to challenges throughout their entire life and being able to do this gives them the confidence to know that they're gonna be able to respond to all sorts of challenges."
Speaker 3, another parent/commenter, characterized the experience as emotionally positive: "It's magic. It's a blast. It's beautiful." That speaker stressed communication skills and learning to interpret across languages.
