Yes I meant from a very early age young children just pick up language easily.

I believe there also needs to be an incentive to learn a language. Will you be travelling to these countries?

French and German used to be the main languages apart from Latin but now Spanish seems very common also and with so many people holidaying in Spain thats not surprising.

I am not sure when UK decided to introduce Chinese and Japanese into the curriculum? I believe much is led by Business interests.

I am also a believer in sign language for the deaf being taught everywhere as then deaf people and hearing folk can communicate so much better than often happens.
