When Should Your Child Start Learning Another Language?

MAKE LANGUAGE LEARNING ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED When Should Your Child Start Learning Another Language? Here is my voice as a teacher. Choosing when to start your child learning another language - at birth, early in childhood, or later on in childhood - can be a tough decision. There are some families that are afraid, others who think they do not have the capacity, for others believe that their children will not learn until they are in school with a real teacher, while others believe it is too expensive, among many other myths and excuses.  A lot of information (and misinformation) is out there on this topic, and questions about age and language learning will vary greatly depending on your family situation. Young children soak up new languages like thirsty sponges, whereas older children's language-soaking abilities differ. Young children are not necessarily at an advantage over older children when it comes to learning a second language in their early childhood. In my experience as a Spanish teacher for 20 years, learning another language is never too late or too early. At the moment, I have seniors in my groups. It is possible for anyone to learn the language if they wish. The time is now for you to help your children learn a second language, whether they are young or old. Parents should be aware that different ages will find different things easier or harder. Our Mamaestra Program has developed materials to support the language learning abilities and opportunities at different ages, because children approach language learning differently at different ages for a variety of reasons, including their personalities, aptitudes, identities, and levels of social and emotional development.  Most of these things are beyond the control of parents. Considering these factors can also help you make informed decisions, set realistic goals, and motivate your children as they progress through the language learning process.
