My DD has taken Hindi as a second language since first grade. (Language policy in India is complicated...most kids have a second and even a third language for a few years.) We are not a Hindi speaking family. It is not spoken at home at all. It is truly a second language for her and it is a challenge.
She will take her 10th grade IGCSE Hindi exam this year.
For IB she can continue with Hindi or she could switch to Spanish ab initio for 11th and 12th grade.
Some comments on another thread started me wondering how challenging IB language courses generally are? She would take Hindi SL. So would it be better to take Hindi SL knowing how many years she has had of Hindi or switch to Spanish ab initio SL and only ever have the two years of it? What are the concerns I should be aware of in making that choice?
