Yeah, no kidding that’s rough.

“est-ce qu'il y a”…. Three syllables, representing six words.

We taught both kids French by dropping them unprepared into the local village school at age 6. Whatever part of their brain taught them English as infants kicked back in and did the same thing for a second time.

Amazing to watch. I wish I could do that.

Yep, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_immersion. There are schools and kindergartens that specialize on this, though the degree of immersion varies.
