second language

There should only be one language in the world and it should be English. It would be so much easier that way. Did you know that ALL aircraft pilots in the World HAVE TO speak English?

I think that would be a great idea since younger children seem to have an easier time learning new languages than older kids/people.

It a must to learn a second language for us in our country. Kids started to learn a second language when they are as young as 5. I think it better this way because most of the kids in our country can communicate better with anyone.

There is a lot to be said for teaching children a second language early in life. For one thing, it is much easier for them to absorb it at a younger age. At the high school age, I find most students are not as eager or adept at learning a new language as young children are.

i think it's better for children to learn a second language early in life so that they could be fluent in speaking that second language. also, they would have more time learning vocabulary and their mistakes would be easier to correct. children also absorb a language better too when taught early in life and if it is used in a conversational manner. it help to if people around them speak that 2nd language too..

Yeah,of course

hello hersheyskiss, if you really do want your children to learn another language you should really start teaching them at a young age. while they are still young hearing people speak the language they could easily adapt to it. as a child they are at a critical age where in they are very sensitive to their environment. what they see, what they hear, touch and smell, you should take advantage of this. when people are at a young age you have to constantly feed their minds about the right things bcause the childrens minds are like sponges, they absorb information faster you might say than most adults. they should be taugh the basics like coping skills, social skills and manners so when they grow up they would learn how to be a little bit more independent and know how to do things by themselves. so yes, i do agree that children should be taught early in life.

Absolutely as soon as possible! The younger one is, the easier it is to learn -any- language. I have tutored people in ESL, & the younger they are, (more often than not) the easier they pick it up. The brain is hardwired to learn language, & -especially- when we are young. Brains tend to "fossilize" as we grow older. Which reminds me, I need to locate a teacher of Russian, so I won't lose what I've managed to teach myself! LOL! Maggiepie

The more young more easy it is the learning.

It would be better if they would learn a new language while they are young because there's a bigger chance for them to be proficient in that language and be able to speak like it's their native language.
