All young children are language learners. They begin to understand words long before they begin speaking.  During early childhood, the human brain specializes in learning language.  Research shows that young children are capable of learning multiple languages, and they are able to differentiate the languages in their minds. There are many benefits to learning more than one language. For example:  it enhances cognitive development, it fosters the ability to excel in reading and literacy, and it promotes the ability to experience an elevated level of curiosity and social engagement. Children learn language by listening and it is our brain’s favorite learning tool. The more language a child hears, the more he/she learns.
