CHILDHOOD EDUCATION WHY YOU SHOULD TEACH YOUR CHILD FRENCH AND SPANISH ~ Nicole Weaver
Why teach your children French and Spanish?
There are several reasons for teaching your children French or Spanish. Here the two top reasons:
These two reasons are why I am so passionate about writing all of my books as trilingual books.
Helps brain development- Learning a second language stimulates and helps children’s brain development. New and different neuron paths and connections are established, resulting in more brain cells and more extensive use of existing brain cells. I see learning a foreign language as the exercise young children need to keep their minds sharp. Senior citizens are encouraged to do crossword puzzles to keep their minds sharp. The earlier we can start kids off learning a second language, the better. Start before 3 years old, achieve fluency before age 12.
Cultural expansion- Learning another language is a cultural experience. It is more than just the ability to communicate. It enables young children to read books in that language, exposing them to a brand new world outside of their own.
