[quote=Anonymous]I learned English as a child when I was 6. What I remember about it was that it was effortless nothing at all like learning French as an adult while living in France or learning German starting in 6th grade in the U.S. My child attends a Chinese immersion school starting at age 4. Enjoys the language and the learning is effortless. I did not want to wait until DC was old enough to express a preference and lose the window in development when learning another language is so easy. We spend a lot of tirme in Asia and that's the language everyone wants to know equal in popularity to English at this time. It depends on your family. We rarely spend time in Spanish speaking countries although my DH loves Rio - but they speak Portuguese and I love Spain. But for a young child, I prefer a harder language.[/quote]
