| I am looking for some advice/insight into what has become a dilemma for my family. We are contemplating a move to the Buchs SG area in February. We have 3 boys ages 8, 11, and 12. All of native english speakers with very little german language ability at this point. (we have been doing tutoring once weekly for the past month or so in anticipation of the move) | |

Don't worry, 3 to 6 months here of total immersion in the Swiss public schools and your boys will be nearly fluent in German. Young people pick up languages incredibly fast. I had a 17 year old apprentice working with me who had been here less than 2 years at that point and I thought he was born here as his command of the local dialect was incredible.
