Why Bilingualism?

Benefits of Early Immersion
The human brain is wired to learn language in early childhood. Infants have the innate ability to learn multiple languages. The earlier a child starts learning a second language, the greater their chances of achieving full fluency. Extended contact with a community of fluent speakers is by far the most effective way to learn a language.
