Franklin Elementary in Glendale, CA presently offers German, Italian and Spanish. It will not continue populating the German class and just let it dwindle down. It is starting a French program for next fall and is already oversubscribed for its kindergarten.

My grandson didn't know a word of Italian before going into this kindergarten program. He is going into 3rd grade in the fall and is fluent in Italian.

There are immersion programs for adults. I looked into one for Italian and was tempted to do it a few years back. All I did was just go on Google. I'm sure you can find something!
