What I have found with these children is that language is not a barrier when the brits kids get together with the Spanish kids. Play is the same in any language and they seem to be able to converse with eachother in a fashion. Your children will pick up the language very quickly and the teachers are not ogres they will do their best to help the children understand. I am not able to answer your question regarding the English schools over here but I am sure I could find out from my young friends. I understand your concerns with your boys but I think you are worrying over nothing really. Why not pop over and speak with the head of the school you think you may be sending your son to that way you can explain your concerns and they will be able to put your mind at rest. They rather like parents to speak with them regarding their children and their education and if you decide you do not like a particular school you have the chance to visit another of your choice. I agree that their education is important to you and your sons and I am sure you all as a family will enjoy living here.
