Importance of Introducing Foreign Languages at an Early Age

Introducing world languages at an early age opens up a whole new world to your child.   Linguistics studies prove that it is infinitely better to start a second language at a very early age.  By puberty, a child's capacity to learn a foreign language slowly diminishes.  It is a shame that our schools wait until it is too late and too "foreign" to our children.

 Little Linguists offers a unique opportunity for your child.  We believe that learning a foreign language should be like learning one's first language.  We learn through PLAY!  We learn our first language through daily interactions and playing.  This is how we approach learning our spoken languages at Little Linguists.  We incorporate games, songs, conversation, crafts and food to our lessons.  Through interaction, visual and sound, students retain more of the whole language.

Show me and I may remember;

Involve me and I'll understand"

 There are so many advantages to introducing world languages to your child besides the fact that children learn it more rapidly and retain more at a younger age.  You will be giving them a tremendous advantage in school and in life.  Students who study foreign languages score higher on their SAT's and other standardized tests.  It actually reinforces their English grammar.  Latin students score an average 173 points higher on the verbal SAT than non-Latin students.  Spanish, French and German scores are slightly less than Latin, but still show a striking increase on the SAT verbal section.

 In addition, your child will be exposed to geography that is merely brushed over in our public school curriculum.  The students are immersed in culture and traditions in other countries that they will give them a keener sense of what is beyond the borders of the United States.
