My first chance to take another language in school was 7th grade. Most people I know from different parts of the country had similar experiences. Middle school is usually the first time public schools offer another language.
So much research and so many case studies prove that the earlier someone starts learning another language, the easier it will be to learn.
It doesn’t need to be a formal curriculum. Most schools could probably find a parent volunteer who speaks Spanish and can come talk to the kindergarten class for an hour a day. Those kids would be confused at first, but they would pick it up really quickly. It wouldn’t even need to be a different “lesson.” Whatever the kids would have been doing for that hour (maybe singing songs, maybe listening to a story and looking at pictures, etc.), they could just do it in Spanish instead of English. I would bet they’d learn a lot of Spanish in the course of that year.
And it doesn’t need to be Spanish. The same could be said about any language.
I’m just throwing this idea out there to brainstorm. What would be the pros/cons of something like this?
