Hi,

I hope somebody could help me.I am a mum of 5 children,they are 12,11,9,8 and 7.I want to bring my kids to Spain for 14 months to live and experience the spanish culture and to learn the language.I want them to go to state schoo las I think they would pick up the spanish quicker there,but here are my worries...are the older two just two old as they dont speak any spanish,I couldnt stand them being picked on or left out because they cant speak spanish.They are bi-lingual at the moment,speaking Irish and English.I am also worried that they wont let me put all my kids in the same school,as we have five!

I havnt picked a region or area and dont really mind,so if anyone knows of a good state school where 5 children would be welcome and we could get some support with the language,i'd be really grateful.I think because we have only 14 monthsto stay in Spain, a school with not too many ex-pats would be better.Sorry for going on,I'm just nervous and dont want to put the kids through a nightmare....please help!
