Foreign Language Acquisition


 

Study after study shows the benefit of acquiring a second language early in life. Children naturally absorb the 2nd language without prejudgment. Longevity studies show that children exposed to a second language at an early age score higher in reading and math. There are many other benefits too: Spanish speaking citizens are on the rise in the U.S. Increasingly, companies will prefer candidates who speak Spanish. Students become aware of different languages and cultures. They think globally seeing the world as interdependent. Spanish is spoken in most industries in the US. It’s also spoken in 21 countries around the world. Knowing Spanish gives you an edge.
