[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you're missing is that the younger the child learns a foreign language, the more fluent they will be. This will also make it easier for them to learn foreign languages in later years. But if you don't care for foreign languages -- sounds like the best decision for your family is to not participate in these programs at all.[/quote] +1 There are also cognitive benefits of learning a second (and third etc.) languages early - connections are drawn that make the brain more flexible/adaptable to other kinds of learning. Learning music provides similar benefits. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/life-bilingual/201401/cognitive-advantages-second-language-immersion-education http://www.actfl.org/advocacy/discover-languages/for-parents/cognitive [/quote]
