Do you speak any other languages? When do you think a child should learn a new language?
As the title I chose indicates, I speak some French. I took 2 years in high school and 3 more years in college, earning a minor in the language. I don't consider myself fluent, but I did enjoy it. I did alright until I basically ended up in literature and writing classes IN FRENCH. Nope, over my head. I muddled through, but I think they may be right about saying there is a point where you can't learn anymore unless you immerse yourself in it. I would love to travel to France or Quebec someday to try out my rusty skills!
I have also always been fascinated by ASL (American Sign Language) and it's on my bucket list to learn to speak it. I know a few words and the alphabet.
I think it can be beneficial for a child to learn a new language and starting early is probably a good thing. I don't have much interest in Spanish though, for a variety of reasons, and most other languages aren't really that useful! Anyway, it's a great skill and if a child has the opportunity to learn a language. Younger is probably better, but I think it's a good thing in high school as well.
