Early Language Learning
Bringing very young children into contact with foreign languages may result in faster language learning, improved mother tongue skills, and better performance in other areas. That is why EU education ministers support the teaching of at least two foreign languages from a very early age.
As well as laying the foundations for later learning, early language learning influences attitudes towards other languages and cultures – reason enough for the various Commission initiatives to promote it and support further research.
