Children learn languages the fastest of every age group because their brain is so plastic. They learn that shyt so quick.

You already know I'll teach several languages to my children from the jump.

I'd rather my child be proficient in maths English science and IT before any second language
This. Rep.
Right on point - English, Math, Reading and Science to Technology. Let children master subjects where there is an under representation in order to gain proficiency and supplement learning in an already inadequate educational system for their own needs and intellectual development, first.

Wasting time on learning a language when they could be working on the basics or some sport. If they wanna learn later in life good for then but as a kid get the foundations first

And what other languages are people gonna suggest lemme guess Spanish :comeon:

Facts. Real easy to say about foreign language when most children and teenagers to young adults know nothing about Finance, Investing or Money Management . They’re not taught fiscal responsibility or how to establish a savings, balancing accounts,etc. So we teach them a foreign language then what? When they aren’t equipped with the knowledge to get to the level they need to be in bc people in certain communities are on survival mode. All that immersion learning requires funding and additional income. Also, time and preparation. I rather my child be regularly immersed in a specialty that will lead them to become an expert in a field or subject for career /academia.

Spanish is a necessity. Especially with so many of our people across the diaspora who don't speak a lick of English.

What if I told you... learning a second language could help you apply finance, investing, and money management in the real world? :dwillhuh:
