Why is it so important to start learning a foreign language as
early as possible?
Children have the capacity to develop new language more naturally
than adults. Between the ages of 0 – 5 years old, children’s brains are
prepared for language development. “The power to learn language is
so great in the young child that it doesn’t seem to matter how many
languages you throw their way. They can learn as many spoken
languages as you allow them to hear systematically and regularly.”
Learning Languages, Winter 1996
“Studies have shown, and experience has supported, that children
who learn a language before the onset of adolescence are much
more likely to have a native-like pronunciation.”
ERIC
“Languages are for life and they can’t be taken away once you have
learned them. By helping your child and continuing to help her, you’ll
have a lasting contribution to her quality of life and understanding of
others and their culture.”
Hodder and Stoughton Educational, 1994
