Not completely, because lots of the kids would naturally speak in English because they have much more vocabulary in English. After a term, sometimes the first word that comes to their mind will be in French. So to speak in French is a very big step. And also express a full sentence in French is a very big step. OK, so then we have another class over here. Seven years old.
