While children can certainly be successful studying languages in the middle and high school years, studies show that children are more likely to develop language proficiency and native accents when a foreign language is introduced during the earliest stages of cognitive development — even as early as 6 months old. Learning a second language actually enhances a child’s English language skills. According to linguists and child development experts, children who learn second and even third languages acquire vocabulary at the same age and rate as children who speak English only, and they do not experience any long-term language delays. In fact, regular study of a foreign language is statistically proven to improve a child’s skill, vocabulary, and comprehension of his or her native language. Most experts agree that a child becomes bilingual most easily and naturally in a home of bilingual parents where one parent speaks exclusively to his/her child in the native language. However, the benefits of introducing and exposing your child to a second language at an early age are tremendous. While immersed in weekly or bi-weekly Spanish classes, children are exposed to the distinct phonetic sounds of Spanish and are taught vocabulary and conversational skills that can easily be incorporated into their daily lives. Parents will be amazed at how quickly their children will start singing songs and using the skills they have learned.
