Learning Korean

Research shows that language acquisition comes naturally to babies and young children, and that a critical period for acquiring language exists from the age of 0 to 7 years old.

Children who have a second language in elementary school are far more likely to become fluent than those who begin learning a second language in high school.

Moreover, research finds that children who speak a second language demonstrate increased creativity, problem solving skills, and higher standardized test scores.
