A Must Need For
Children To Learn A
Second Language
We all heard in the
news or read in
health and language
articles that it is
advantageous when
learners begin to
learn language in as
early as their
childhood years. This
is actually a factual
case.
According to Amina
Khan, writer of Los
Angeles Times, a
number of
researchers
conducted a study
discussed at the
2011 American Assn.
for the Advancement
of Science meeting in
Washington DC. If
there is a study
where children
learning languages
" provide a defense
against some effects
of Alzheimer's or just
provide a great
workout for the
brain " then the said
study presents
various benefits of a
person being
bilingual.
One of the findings of
the said research
was that that infants
raised in bilingual
households can tell
unfamiliar foreign
languages apart and
those bilingual
speakers who
rapidly switch
between languages
are better mental
multi-taskers than
their monolingual
counterparts, Khan
wrote. In other
words, bilingual
speakers can
infrequently use the
wrong language,
compared to
monolingual
speakers.
When children, for
example knows
French and German
as his bilingual
languages, he can
easily determine
when someone
speaks French, he
can speaks French;
or German and vise
versa. He is skillful
and versatile enough
to switch between
these two languages
and most accurately
expresses his own
thoughts. A
monolingual
however, knows
only French; he
won 't determine if
the language is
German because he
not familiar with it.
Do you know that
when learners learn
language bilingually,
these two languages
he knows juggles in
his brain that results
to maximized
cognitive
advantages? In fact,
a person who knows
two different
languages is less
stressful compared
to monolinguals.
Personally, I agree
with this because I
really am a bit
stressful especially
when oftentimes I
encounter Spanish
terms with my
employment
scenery. I get
stressed
understanding these
terms, that 's why
if you know English
and Spanish, lucky
for you! Half of the
causes of your stress
are automatically
eradicated!
These are very
important effects
that people should
be aware of.
Learning a second
language does not
only provide
employment or
international
opportunities for
them, but also for
their own health
benefits.
That's why, as
encouraged by this
article proven by the
research mentioned
above, children, as
early as three years
old must learn
another language.
You 're not only
investing incredibly
wonderful
knowledge for them,
but you also
prepared them to
become someone in
their own future
success.
