His English is moving in leaps and bounds. I think that his English is already much better than my Russian! I'm supposed to be helping him with conversational english (the teacher handles the formal education) but I wonder how much confusion in caused by the English-only immersion. There are worksheets that have a picture and the English word (example - a picture of a glass of milk and the word milk) - but how clear is it that the intent was the milk, and that the word "milk" he repeats dutifully doesn't mean 'glass', 'drink', or simply 'white'. He'd much rather play with the other little kids than sit with an old man "studying" - he seems to communicate with them just fine without English or Russian!
