At Petits Amigos, we know that competing in a global environment is increasingly difficult, and knowledge of a second language is an undeniable advantage. Bilingual skills are increasingly valued in every profession, and an early start to a solid language foundation is key.
Unfortunately, cuts to foreign language programs have left our children at a huge disadvantage; most children have little to no exposure until middle or high school, which is the precise time when language acquisition abilities begin to decrease. As we age, learning a new language becomes more challenging, and most learners give up early in the process. |
