Languages And Kids

A child’s brain is like a sponge it soaks up information at an alarming rate. This is how a child can learn to speak different languages as early as they start to talk. If you should teach your kid to speak three or four different languages from birth, by the time they learned to talk they would have learned all three or four languages as fluently as they would one.

As a matter of fact there is an undocumented case of a girl in Russia Andrea Putoski back in 1938 was taught, by various family members and friends Russian, Mandarin, Spanish, English, French, Cantonese, Italian and Portuguese, and was fluent in all eight by the time she was 5. Now she was not a child prodigy or gifted with high intelligence, no, she was of a little over average IQ, a fairly regular child, who just so happened to have people around her at the time who were interested to find out just how many languages she could have learned, just for the fun of it.

The only reason a lot of our children don’t speak multiple tongues is simply due to the fact their parents and guardians responsible for them don’t speak multiple tongues. If brought up in such a situation a child would simply absorb the tongue effortlessly, just as they would with taking in one language. It would be nice and a easier world to live in if we all were taught several languages at birth, it would make for a more closely knit global society.
