Welcome!
People learn languages for many reasons. Some learn for fun, for travel or for business. Others learn to be able to converse with new friends around the world. You may also realise that learning another language increases your world knowledge, intelligence and confidence.
According to the US College Board:
"Students who had at least four years of a foreign language tend to score higher on both the math and verbal portions of the SAT."
They gained:
1. Higher College Entrance Exam Scores. 75% of the SAT and ACT's verbal sections measure vocabulary and root word comprehension. Since English shares roots with Latin-based words, studying French, Spanish or Italian increases the probability of scoring higher on college entrance, and other standardized tests.
2.Enhanced Processing Skills. Researchers at England's Wellcome Trust concluded that Chinese Mandarin speakers use both sides of the brain to process voice melody, while French, Spanish, English speakers only process voice melody on the right. The Trust's researchers theorize that the musical pitch, range and voice melody needed to learn Mandarin sensitizes and trains Chinese speakers brains to discriminate and interpret a far wider range of audial cues, tones, and phonetically based sounds than non-Chinese speakers.
3. Acquiring Native Pronunciation. Language learned from a native speaker before a child's window of opportunity ends will always be pronounced like a native, while language learned after the age of 12 or 13 will be always pronounced with a "foreign accent."
4.Expand Their World. Children gain global awareness and cultural adaptability to take with them to adulthood, the job market, and beyond.
5.And much more! The sooner a child enrols in language classes, the sooner they can begin acquiring the countless benefits of learning another language.
So come along and have some Fun in Many Languages!
