We pulled this off by moving to France when our first kid was 2 years old. He went in the local village school at age 3 and was happily speaking French to our adult friends at age 5.
A year later, French is just the language that Kids and Strangers speak, so he pulls it out in those situations then falls back to English if that doesn't work.
It's fascinating to watch. I'm trying to gauge when will be a good time to up sticks and move to a Spanish speaking country for a year or two.
