She says that babies and toddlers have a greater capacity for tuning into foreign language sounds than older children.
She says research has shown this is the best time to learn as young children can be more relaxed about the process and better at imitating sounds and pronunciation.
"Learning Spanish comes so easy to young children. They have a keen ear and are very receptive. At this very young age, the strategies and language learning skills, which they use for developing their own language, are very active.
"Sessions such as these are the perfect opportunity to promote and encourage the importance of language learning at an early age and a great way to start new initiatives and to boost the children's language capability."
The free session is from 2pm to 3pm at the Gateway Centre off London Road.

“Hola! No entieendo por que los ninos peqenos no asprenden un segundo o tercer idioma! Cuanto mas joven mejor! El mas viejo se obtiene mas dificil es no solo asprender sino para formar los sonidos porque la boca esta ya 'establecida' para el idioma que se habla! Buena suerte a todos los que participan! Tus hijos te lo agradeceran pues un dia!
Aplicaciones son un gran igualador y realmente hacen un gran trabjo de ayudar a aprender! Espana y Mexico aqui vengo (otra vez)!

Adios mis amigos!

“All young children should be immersed in foreign languages so that a second or third language becomes natural to them from a very young age. Fully applaud this initiative.”
