Benefits that Last a Lifetime
Research shows that children's brains are
especially receptive to learning a
second language from birth to age 12
Children who learn a second language early
are able to reproduce a native accent
Children learn a second language naturally alongside
not through their first language
Children absorb the sounds, intonation patterns and
rules of a second language intuitively without rote memorization
Younger learners benefit from the flexible ear and speech muscles that can still hear the critical differences between the sounds of a second language
Children who learn a second language young show
enhanced creativity and problem solving skills
Learning a second language encourages
flexible thinking and communication skills
Learning a second language endows children with cultural sensitivity
