The Heir Visits the Beach ...

[Ferriciean Aetas]

The Head Wench tells me that it's too early to begin The Heir's lexicological education... considering he's still struggling to simply speak.

I say, "Balderdash!"

I need your support. Tell her I'm right, and that it's never too early to begin learning other languages and why they work.

The younger the better. An infant's brain is like a sponge... he will soak up all this knowledge. As we age, learning becomes more difficult because we have already developed "one way" to learn things. Especially true in dialects. If I had only allowed my mom to teach me her native tongue (Spanish) and my dad to teach me his (Japanese), I'd have learned 3 languages before I was 5 with the possibility to expand that to even more "similar" languages (Potugese, Italian, etc.). Now, I am barely capable of speaking English!
It is never too young, Harem Lord. Let the Heir learn, I say!

I'll also add, that my 2.5 year old grandson, while not able to clearly speak yet knows his colors, shapes, animals/animal sounds and can count to 20. In both English and Spanish. Never too young!
