I have no direct experience of this, but this is a criticism that I hear from those that have been through it. I suppose one needs to balance the chance of using French with the potential downsides of having virtual total French instruction.


This is common among children who start French Immersion at the Kindergarten level, but less frequent among children who start with Late French Immersion in grade 6/7 because by that age, they've already learned their English grammar/spelling.
