Plant the seed for learning a new language.

 

 

Children can learn a language quicker and easier. It would be a wasted opportunity not to use a child’s natural abilities during the years when their brains are most receptive. We believe that if children are exposed to a language at a young age they will learn it effortlessly.

Children’s minds are known for being “like a sponge” which absorbs everything. We should take advantage of this great gift!

Researchers say that when you are young, you aquire language, rather than having to learn it. Many studies have demonstrated the benefits of second language learning not only on student’s linguistic abilities but on their cognitive and creative abilities as well, more creative, better at solving complex problems and usually score higher on standardized tests.

Beginning foreign language instruction early sets the stage for students’ to develop advanced levels of proficiencies in one or more languages. In addition, younger learners still possess the capacity to develop near native-like pronunciation and intonation in a new language. Finally, young learners have a natural curiosity about learning which is evident when they engage in learning a new language. They also are open and accepting of people who speak other languages and come from other cultures.

Studies have shown repeatedly that foreign language learning increases critical thinking skills, creativity, and flexibility of mind in young children. –

The important factor is that students begin any language as early as possible and continue in a well-articulated sequence. Since research indicates that learning a third or fourth language then comes more easily. –

The joy with which children explore their first language makes childhood the ideal time for a second language — even if all the other reasons for an early start didn’t exist!

Numerous reports have proven that students who have studied a foreign language perform much better

Children are always discovering new things, but learning a new language is a uniquely rewarding experience at any age.

Children are always mimicking what they hear and are surprisingly good at it!

researchers from UCLA and the University of Hong Kong, however, shows that even adults with significant exposure to a language in childhood can end up speaking like a native. By starting early, your children can speak smoothly and confidently from the first.
