Your child may be ready if they show interest in learning new languages, enjoy listening to different sounds or songs, and can follow basic instructions.
Look for instructors who are native speakers or have fluency in the language, a background in education, and experience teaching children. A degree in language or education can also be beneficial.
Encourage use of language learning apps, watching shows or listening to music in the target language, and practicing with native speakers or language groups.
Children as young as 4 or 5 can start learning a new language through play-based methods, with more structured learning suitable for older children.
