Why learn a second language so young?
Children’s brains have a unique “window of opportunity” to absorb a second language naturally through consistent exposure and enjoyable activities. As a child grows, his/her ability to flawlessly imitate new accents and sentence patterns diminishes significantly. Children who learn a foreign language young absorb the language and use it spontaneously without translating through their native tongue. A child’s learning process fundamentally differs from how adolescents or adults learn language. They learn quickly and effectively, similarly to how they pick up their first language, avoiding the pain of learning through grammar, memorization and verb conjugation. They also gain cognitive benefits, as studies demonstrate that children who speak more than one language accelerate their verbal and math skills and score higher on the ACT and SAT.
