My family moved to the US when I was 3. I’m not sure how it happened, but by the time I was 5, I was more fluent in English than my native language. I’m very grateful now for the experience because being bilingual opens the world in so many ways.
I know a few people who immigrated to another country when they were pre-elementary school and they all were fluent within a couple of years. Kids that age seem to soak up languages without even trying.
I’m sure she is having a hard time right now, but I think she will be fine in a year or so.
