Immersion

Excellent!!!!

This is a fantastic video which sadly is quite realistic. I'll be using this in courses I teach. Thank to the producers, and may more videos like this be made so we can make needed changes to ensure students like Moises are given better opportunities to suceed in school.

i dont like the ending in these films but there very gd

i know how this feels, i moved to paris from seattle when i was 10, no social life, no idea what the teacher is saying, ntohing,

well actually i`d like to know the ending but it is a good film. deals with problems i am not thinking of every day.

That's horrible that the prinicipal could speak spanish and didn't even help him! If he wanted the grades to improve he should've helped the kids who didn't learn the lanuguage!

Well...the situation is different, but when I came to the US from italy, at the age of 8, it was very easy to pick up the language. In 2 or 3 months, I had learned all of the basics, simply from exposure. For a kid, learning languages isn't usually a terribly difficult task, especially at a young age. He would struggle for a while, but would quickly learn to cope, especially if intelligent, like the boy in this film.

completely agree:) the struggle makes a person stronger. you cannot understand this unless you've been there, and not while you're going through it but after.

hahaha me too laugh at the fat kid is very nice
