[quote=Anonymous][quote]For years it has been thought that teaching a foreign language to preschool-age children would be futile. [b]However, recent studies indicate that the best time for a child to learn another language is in the first three to four years of life. [/b]Through language immersion, children can learn another language quickly and easily. During the first three years of life, the foundations for thinking, language, vision, attitudes, aptitudes, and other characteristics are laid down. Consequently, it would be a waste not to use a child's natural ability to learn during his or her most vital years, when learning a second language is as easy as learning the first. Since 50 percent of the ability to learn is developed in the first years of life and another 30 percent by age eight, early childhood development programs have the opportunity to encourage early learning and development.

As a pediatrician --- tis true for most things:  music, math, languages, you name it.  Try mastering these activities as a mature adult after the benefit of 18 years of play time! [/quote]
