[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of my European colleagues kids speak multiple languages (+ English). Many of my American colleagues' kids speak one language -- English (or american English)--and not very well. Europeans mmust have higher IQ and tolerance for learning multiple languages at a young age while my American colleagues view this practise as unreasonable and a torturing experieince for their children.[/quote] At least when I was growing up, European children did not start routine formal study of foreign languages appreciably earlier than US children. They did, however, benefit from much greater casual exposure to English through music and sometimes movies/TV (although those tended to be dubbed).[/quote]
