[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m certainly not an elite, but I suspect that if elites care about foreign language they probably hire native speakers as nannies and start lessons in elementary, if not preschool. They may send their kids abroad or seek out immersion programs. Whatever your kid learns in middle school isn’t likely to impress elites. [b]I suggest that if your child has any preference at all, you let them choose. [/b] A language’s usefulness depends on the skill of the speaker. Whichever language motivates them to learn and possibly continue to more advanced levels will benefit them the most. As PPs have suggested, there are great reasons to choose many languages. Keep in mind, however, that much of the world speaks English better than your child is likely to learn any foreign language. [/quote] This. The best language is the one they’ll actually try to learn. The second best language is the one with the best teachers.[/quote]
