[quote=Anonymous]Studies have also shown that little kids lose acquired language almost as easily as they pick it up. Fine to start with toddlers and little kids, but not much use if they stop learning the language as older kids or teens. If you're choosing a random language for your child to learn that won't be reinforced either at home or in your community, the results may not be too hot eventually. Your kid may not see the point of continuing with the language once they have a say in the matter, since they don't have to speak it to get along. I can hear the dip in my fully bilingual older kids' conversational ability in the language one of us speaks at home after they've been away at summer camp for a few weeks.[/quote]
