“IT’S often thought that it is better to start learning a second language at a young age but research shows that this is not necessarily true. In fact, the best age to start learning a second language can vary significantly, depending on how the language is being learned. The belief that younger children are better language learners is based on the observation that children learn to speak their first language with remarkable skill at a very early age. Before they can add two small numbers or tie their own shoelaces, most children develop a fluency in their first language that is the envy of adult language learners.”(more)
