Bilingualism from childhood
Nowadays, languages are a real asset. The earlier your child is exposed to them, the more confident they will be in their studies, personal and professional life. Being immersed in languages from childhood onwards will gradually bring them to the top of the table, greatly increasing their average score and making their schooling easier. He will be more comfortable, without even realising it, in the areas of communication and understanding. Language skills are a real plus for today’s children. In this article we will share with you some of the best bilingual nurseries in Barcelona.
As we all know, learning a new language is a complex and arduous task that requires a lot of concentration and work. Imagine then that your child hardly has to struggle at all in his or her first English or any other language lessons, that he or she feels no stress and is happy in class.
The great advantages of bilingual nurseries in Barcelona
Are you in Barcelona, a city with many multicultural facets, and do you want to open your child up to the world? A bilingual daycare centre is an excellent option.
In a competitive, international and multicultural labour market, the ability to speak different languages has become a fundamental pillar of children’s education.
It is now proven that bilingualism from an early age leads to many additional benefits. Studies and research from all over the world report that learning other languages has not only social, cultural and linguistic consequences, but also cognitive development.
It increases synaptic connections and thus creative intelligence, learning ability in all subjects, problem-solving skills and concentration. And this over the long term. Young children’s brains absorb the knowledge that is offered to them in a fluid and natural way. It is therefore important to take advantage of this and not to hesitate to enrich their lives, particularly through bilingualism.
