Conclusion
- Although adults can realize a second language is important, that does not necessarily mean that they can successfully learn a second language when needed.
- A second language learned during the critical period of ages 0-12 produces opportunity for a child that will last a lifetime.
- Home is unarguably the primary place for children to learn a new language, but school is also helpful.
- It is truly in children’s best interest to be bilingual, but this cannot happen without the help of their parents.
