By exposing your child to a different language at an early age, you tap their natural potential to learn languages and hear the difference in language sounds and accents. It will also help your child to learn about other cultures.
Research has shown that bilinguals tend to be more creative thinkers than those who speak one language and that their brain functions may stay sharper as they age.
