Great quote from our fearless leader

Ok, whether you are a Rep or Dem, conservative or liberal, you must agree this quote is absolutely the truth.


"You should be thinking about how can your child become bilingual? We should have every child speaking more than one language...I'm serious about this...We should be emphasizing foreign languages in our schools from an early age because children will actually learn a foreign language easier when they're 5 or 6 or 7 than when they're 46 like me!"
-Barack Obama

Remember all those high school Spanish classes? What do you remember? Not much I bet. But, I guarantee your child will still be saying "Come on vaminos" when they get older after being exposed to Dora. Why? Children learn language easier, and retain it. And the earlier the better! Babies can learn a new language before they can even talk. Don't believe me? How did your baby start communicating with you? Non-verbal, then short sounds, followed by real words, finally structured sentences. This is how kids start learning a new language whether it is their 1st or 5th!

Your child can learn a new language here! If you are not in the Dallas area, try this one!

GREAT STUFF!

And once they get to college, they can go on a study abroad program IN the foreign language, because they'll have been exposed to it early and not just starting it in college! Then they'll be FLUENT!

WOOHOO!!!!!
