Below are some factual scientific studies about learning another language as a young child: -Recent scientific studies suggest that children have a deeper ability to acquire and develop language skills than adults.-There is a critical period in human development, when children are able to pick up new words and sounds in an almost effortless manner, irrespective of their primary language.-Scientists believe that before the age of 10 is the best time to start learning a language, and that as people progress to adulthood it becomes increasingly difficult to absorb words in this manner.Academic Advantages-Scientists also believe that learning a language enhances children's cognitive development. This means that children who learn Spanish are likely to develop better critical thinking skills, as well as have more flexible and creative minds.-Learning Spanish could have a positive impact on your child's performance in all subjects at school.Enhanced Learning Abilities-Studying foreign languages has been shown to have a positive effect on mental development, particularly in young people, and an enhanced overall intellectual growth.-The Association of Departments of Foreign Languages states that studying other languages at a young age can improve math and critical thinking skills as well as strengthen the use and understanding of a child's native tongue.-Research even shows that students who continuously take foreign language courses score higher on standardized tests, like the SAT and ACT, with each additional year of study.Exposure to Other Cultures-Studying a foreign language early in life exposes children to other cultures-with different values, language patterns and ways of expressing themselves-in a way they never would have experienced had they not taken up the subject.Career Opportunities-Learning a foreign language at a young age gives students an advantage in becoming successful in their chosen careers later in life. Mastering a foreign language will also increase a candidate's chances in landing a desired job because she will be able to communicate with more people from other areas of the world, and corporations view this skill as a real asset.References-American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language: Benefits of Being Bilingual-Center for Applied Linguistics: Research-Association of Departments of Foreign Languages: Why Learn Another Language?
