Great pic, I'll use that next time you go off on name-calling tantrum

Wow....you are so bad at this!

Stick to rolling into threads to inject the banal. That's your calling, sport.

Hello , I have a few more questions

When we move to Calgary (i hope to happened soon) what is my options for the child???

My son (5y old) do not speak English , so what should I do in that case , can I apply in some kindergarten , do they have some extra lessons about the language , what is the situation for foreigners children , who do not have English skills ?

And one more think, if it’s not possible for my child to attend kindergarten classes, is there some special lessons that is provide for a foreigners children, especially for helping them to improve their English skills?

Thank you so much for your help

When I moved to Canada, my kids did not speak 1 word English. They were 7 and 9.
The school we enrolled them in in this little hick town arranged for an ESL teacher (but since the area he covered was VERY large, they saw him twice) and they could follow the lessons within 6 weeks. The were put in regular classes from day 1, with regular Canadian children, and it was a very funny challenge for the teachers, who of course did not speak Dutch. It was the combination of sign language, the children's will and need to learn and a lot of humour that helped them all figure it out. We are 5 years along the road now, and when I try to explain something to them and can't find the English words so I use Dutch, it is "English, mom!"



You can just enroll him in Kindergarten, mention he doesn't speak English, and an ESL teacher will be arranged. No worries about it, he is not the first and won't be the last!
