Why start very young?
• Research has found
that learning a second language is much easier before the age of
six or seven. As a child's brain forms new neural connections,
the second language is assimilated as the brain develops, making
it easier to learn.
• Learning that second
language early makes it easier to get the right French accent and
pronunciation.
• The longer you learn
a language, the more proficient you will become, so encourage
your children to start as early as possible.
What are the benefits for the children?
•
Children not only learn the words in both languages, they
discover another culture, sense of humor, other ways of
expressing themselves.
• Children thus
develop a more open mind as they start to understand that
people think and express themselves in different ways. They
become true citizens of the world.
• Several studies have
shown that taking a second language will help children perform better
in other subjects such as maths and indeed English. Overall
school performance tends to improve and problem-solving skills
appear superior in children who have been taught a second language
early in life. |
