Chapter 9

One thing that really stood out to me while reading was the section on Language Two Languages. I fully agree with the fact that children should learn more than one language in early childhood. I wish I could of learned another language in kindergarten as some school around the United States do. My school started teaching Spanish in 7th grade, but it was only for half the year, and was very basic. The next chance we had to take a language was high school. I think there are many pros to knowing more than more one language. Once you know more than one language it is easier to learn a third language if the person so desires. Another big pro is that every year the United States is becoming more culture and many languages are spoken within the US so it's good to know to talk to those people. If you want to travel to another country it is smart if you know the language so knowing another language can allow you to travel easier.
