Benefits to Your Preschooler When They Learn Spanish

Benefits of Learning Spanish

Children shouldn’t have to wait until middle or high school to learn a foreign language. By learning Spanish through Aprosae’s preschool Spanish resources, preschoolers can have the benefits of foreign language learning while their brains are best able to develop the neural network for language. And their adults will probably learn some Spanish along the way, too.

Research has shown that these are some of the benefits early foreign language learning gives children:

• Advanced learning skills that transfer from one language-learning experience to another.
• The ability to be more capable of choosing, and more likely to continue and be successful in, required foreign language courses.
• Flexibility in adapting to an ever-changing global society.
• Superior problem-solving skills.
• Children are most willing to accept other cultures and incorporate different thinking patterns before the age of ten.
• Correct pronunciation is most easily acquired during the preschool years.
• Greater self-confidence is gained as children are able to communicate in another language.
• Overall improvement in intelligence, verbal ability and listening skills have been linked to foreign language study.
• Greater levels of cognitive development, flexibility, and creativity are achieved at an earlier age when children are exposed to more than one language.
• Statistically higher scores are earned by students of foreign language on standardized tests conducted in English.
