[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience it depends on whether the child cares to learn. If the child sees it as drudgery, a thorn in their side, they'll hate it. If they see it as a fun thing that they take to like a riddle or something they're 'good at' then a kid can start at almost any age. There is also some element of innate talent for language that some have and some don't. Everyone can learn another language if they're young enough, but after that some really struggle while others can still pick it up relatively smoothly.[/quote] 100%. Something shifts around age 10 for the chances of building a good base to get to native fluency, and it just gets harder and harder (not impossible, but requires harder commitment) from there. 2nd grade is well within that range – but need a kid who likes to learn and otherwise supportive environment.
