Foreign Language Classes in Nursery?

Preliminary results from an EU-funded study on foreign language learning are showing that kids as young as three perform admirably on tests in their second language. This is certainly good news, though there were sizable differences in individual performance, as well as performance levels of the different preschool classes studied. Future studies will attend to discovering the most effective teaching practices and understanding what makes individual children do well or poorly.
