[quote=Anonymous]Yes, there is data to show that there are cognitive advantages to learning two languages at an early age. Many native speakers want their children to know their language, and become truly biliterate. For some monilingual Americans (myself included) I always wished I had mastered a second language, and immersion was a way to try to get that for my kids. It also, frankly, made it easier to explain to my flyover country parents and in-laws why I was actually enrolling my kids in a public school in Washington, DC.[/quote]
