Oh geez.
I said ‘like’ so many times. I got nervous, hah.
Woohoo! I really like this. Even though I didn’t talk at all…
i really need to learn to talk into a mic. good points though, alexa!
Learning a foreign language should start in elementary school.
When I was in first grade I went to a Montessori school, and they taught us French. I think it’s a fantastic idea. It’s easier to pick up a new language when you’re still so young.
Yeah, Spanish or French should definitely be taught at an early age. Unfortunately they tried teaching me French in Kindergarten when I didn’t know anything about anything so my reaction was “Wut” and they stopped teaching it to me.
Yeah, that’s the problem is that some kids might just ignore it because they don’t find it useful.
Well, I think when they have progressed to second or third again, they may be able to grasp the idea of a new language. However, first grade and kindergarten are more like learning to count and playing with the other kids, haha. Not a great learning environment.
