If you decide to introduce your child to a new language you will hear different advice about how to best do this.. Most people suggest beginning early, at the age of three of four, to start with any new language. This often leaves parents in a dilemma what should they do, if their child is a tween or teenager. Is it too late for their child to learn a new language? Absolutely, not! There’s no specific age to start learning a new language. Irrespective of the age, the child can still become fluent in speaking and writing a new language. Age is Not a Limit Contrary to what is commonly believed, children can become fluent in a new language and sound like a native at any age. Though it’s beneficial for children to grasp anything new when they’re younger, multiple ways make this transition smooth like bilingual toys and storybooks. May or May Not Acquire an Accent It is believed children below the age of seven learn to speak a language without acquiring the accent. Well, that’s not true.
