35. Wrong. They speak English already. And wrong: learning a second language HELPS English

Thu Sep 15, 2022, 08:49 PM

Sep 2022

The triad of language, music, and math are synergistic for children and adults. Studying one helps the others. Studying all three supercharges learning.

Mathematics is the science of pattern.
Music is the art of pattern.
Language is communicating by pattern.

Learning a second language before age 7 makes acquiring languages easy.

Learn a second one before age 18 and it is harder, but quite doable.

Trying to learn a second language as an adult is very difficult for almost every person.

Teaching Russian, though, now, is just ignorant.

Lucky children are taught second languages at early ages when they have no fear of mistakes and soak things up like sponges. By seeing (hearing) how another language fits together and how the same parts are in different orders and the concepts of gender (Russian has three) stretch the mind.

https://www.leadwithlanguages.org/why-learn-languages/early-childhood-elementary/
https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/advantages_of_a_bilingual_brain

Smart parents encourage language learning at all ages.

Boost Their Academic Achievement

The cognitive benefits of learning a language have a direct impact on a child’s academic achievement. Compared to those without an additional language, bilingual children have improved reading, writing, and math skills, and they generally score higher on standardized tests.

You don't want your child to do well? Stop them learning a second language.
