LANGUAGE: Featured in French or English.
Most experts agree that the earlier a child is introduced to a second language, the greater the chances are that the child will become truly proficient in the language.
Students of foreign languages score statistically higher on standardized tests conducted in English.
Studies have shown -- and experience has supported -- that children who learn a language before the onset of adolescence are much more likely to have native-like pronunciation.
