Early childhood is the best time to learn a language. By the age of four, children start to make up stories and show their opinions in a simple way. By the age of six, they can control writing tools and begin to write.
Not only are they developing physically, but their brains are also very capable. Research shows that a child can be exposed to several languages at once without any confusion.
However, some studies of the human brain development also show that a child’s ability to learn a new language appears to decline quickly after the age of six. Therefore, many language experts point out that all parents should take advantage of this “window of opportunity” which children have a great chance to learn other languages during this time.
