Second language learning brings with it innumerable benefits and advantages.
A second language can:
Ø Increase your child’s thinking skills as he/she processes two languages
Ø Broaden your child’s appreciation and understanding of another culture and people, as well as increase his/her sensitivities to the differences between cultures;
Ø Boost your child’s self-esteem;
Ø Make learning another language that much easier;
Ø Increase your child’s opportunity for employment.
As a student in the Canadian school system, learning French as a second language seems the most logical and natural fit. Your child will be in good company.
