Giving our children a foreign language is giving them a gift for life! Did you know the BENEFITS OF BEING BILINGUAL? Learning a second language at an early age - Has a positive effect on intellectual growth and enriches and enhances a childs mental development - Leaves students with more flexibility in thinking, greater sensitivity to language, and a better ear for listening - Improves a childs understanding of his/her native language - Gives a child the ability to communicate with people s/he would otherwise not have the chance to know - Opens the door to other cultures and helps a child understand and appreciate people from other countries - Gives a student a head start in language requirements for college - Increases job opportunities in many careers where knowing another language is a real asset. (Center for Applied Linguistics) The cognitive and neurological benefits of bilingualism extend from early childhood to old age as the brain more efficiently processes information and stays off cognitive decline,” explained The DANA Foundation. “What’s more, the attention and aging benefits from learning a second language aren’t exclusive to people who were raised bilingual; they are also seen in people who learn a second language.” https://youtube/watch?v=_d5kFgT8cbA
