Mastering two languages
Experts say the younger children are when they begin to learn, the better.

Why?
In the first year of life, that part of their brain that’s used in speech development is still being formed.

They learn the nuances of sounds, so that’s really the best time to start. Their mind is so absorbent; It’s like a sponge.

  • have better problem-solving skills
  • higher test scores
  • communicate more easily
  • appreciate other cultures
