Answer 4

At age three is when children's brains are like sponges. They can soak up a lot of information. This would be a great time to introduce a new language. Start by putting up words around the house in both English and the language you wish to teach them. Once a child turns six the part in their brain that is able to retain that other language is lost and it makes it more difficult to learn that language later in life.

Answer 5

The best time to learn another language is some time between the time you mastered the first one and the time you die. Age doesn't matter. There's nothing cooler than listening to the Rolling Stones in Russian.

Answer 6

I think the younger, the better. However, I am 18 and am learning to become fluent in Spanish. I will be marrying into a Spanish-speaking family and I'm learning slowly but surely. I will be taking Spanish classes this coming fall and hopefully that will move along my process.

Answer 7

Many developmental specialists say that between the ages of 9mo and 3 are the peak times to introduce a person to a foreign language due to high level of activity and impulses going on in the region of the brain that control speech and pathology.

Answer 8

Infants can learn sign language before they can speak and are able to communicate with it.

Learning a second language should start early. Children learn a different language easily when they are under six years of age. My wife is a pre school teacher and her 4 year olds are learning spanish as part of their everyday learning process. Just about everything is read and shown to them in both languages. She has one girl in her class who is fairly fluent in three languages and she's only 4 years old. She speaks spanish, portugese and english. She actually helps interpret for some of the spanish speaking kids in the classroom.

Kids who learn a second (or third) language at a young age are a lot smarter and grasp onto education easier than children who don't.
