Preparing for testing for Immersion Elementary School? Is teaching your child your own native tongue a challenge? Or maybe you already know that multilingualism will benefit your child in all academic areas? These are all great reasons for investing in your child's capacity that will truly last a lifetime.

The older the child gets, certain windows close in terms of language acquisition, but so long as the child learns the language before puberty [age 12 or 13], the child should be able to speak with a native accent. It’s an incredible gift to give a child access to many languages, and the best time to begin to teach children languages is right now.

You don’t need to speak a language in order to teach your children. Luckily, at KidsLanguageArts, there are educators who are native speakers with the ability to teach through play and in more traditional ways depending on the age of your child. Children learning a foreign language is a serious trend in both parenting and classroom learning methodology. In Europe, it’s commonplace that children speak many languages, and now in America, we’re seeing a rise in teaching children languages starting from toddler age in preschool.

We’ve also seen an incredible development of all sorts of fun tools to help kids learn a foreign language. There are tons of toys and apps that teach kids a foreign language in a way that’s both educational and entertaining but multiple studies have shown that children don’t learn primarily from these. The study shows that children don’t learn effectively from television, apps, however, listening to music, cds or even using apps can be a great tool to go along with the process of learning with a teacher.

So why the recent push for teaching kids a foreign language? We’ve created a short list of our favorite, most convincing reasons kids are learning to speak other languages. And we think by the end of reading this article, we’ll have you saying ‘si’ as well…

Study after study suggests that speaking a second language boosts cognitive, memory, and listening skills. Simple as that, learning and speaking multiples lessons build stronger brains. You’ve heard it a million times, but it’s true: young children are like little sponges, easily absorbing all the information they’re given.

Learning another language is beneficial for your child’s future career. Many of the largest companies and corporations have offices all around the world, teaching another language to your kids means opening up infinite doors. Your children will have a serious advantage if they have access to the entirety of the global market.

English grammar and vocabulary improve when children learn a second language. By understanding how grammar and vocabulary function in other languages, toddlers learn more about how their own grammar rules through comparing and contrasting.

Learning another language expands perspective. Many parents teach children the language of their ancestors in order to give them an important look into their heritage. But understanding another language, any language also means kids feel empowered to explore a more global, diverse life.
