I wish I learned this stuff in grade school (Foreign language that is)

    Having youth on your side, does give an edge. I have seen 3 and 4 year olds picking it up in a heart beat as if they always knew it. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    If the 3 or 4 year older where in CA,USA they prolly always knew it <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle><img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle><img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle><img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    From personal experience, youth isn´t all that big a help that its hyped up to be. Kids taught French at the age of 6 learn it as well as those taught French at the age of 13 (that is to say, badly. Really badly.) And no one crack any frog jokes or I shall smite the next person that comes into view.

    Maybe there is little difference between a 6-year-old and a 13-year-old learning a language, but there is a huge difference between a 3-year-old and a 13-year-old learning a language. Toddlers and infants learn to speak their native language mainly from being around it all day. If 13-year-olds were to be around another language all day, I doubt they would learn the language nearly as quickly as the younger children. Oh, and for Wilde: How does a frog feel when he gets in a car crash? Unhoppy. Hahahaha...haha...ha...that really wasn´t funny.

    Pfah! Who needs foreign languages? Just make the whole world learn English! Problem solved! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>
