Why is English education for children really important?
English education for children is very important. The 23-year research by the China-Canada-America English immersion research group shows that children with bilingual learning ability not only have excellent English scores, but also are in a leading position in other subjects.

This shows that it is not only language learning that determines their learning ability, but also multiculturalism and way of thinking open the door for them to learn.

Compared with monolingual children, bilingual children can gain cultural knowledge from the second language by learning the second language, with wider knowledge, more flexible thinking and more cheerful personality. At the same time, multiculturalism can better stimulate children's brain development and form diverse ways of thinking. In this process, children gradually form their own critical thinking ability and innovative thinking ability.

0-6 years old is recognized as a critical period for children's brain development. How far a child's brain potential can be developed, almost 100% depends on his parents' training before he is 6 years old. At the same time, 0-6 years old is a sensitive period of brain development and language development. It would be great if you started learning English at this time.

The development of language is related to the perfection of brain and hearing. When a baby is born, the brain weighs about 350-400 grams, which is about 25% of that of an adult. By the age of 1 year, the brain weight doubled, reaching 70% of that of adults, and by the age of 3, the brain weight reached 85% of that of adults. At the same time, the synapses of brain neurons exploded at the age of 3, peaked at the age of 6, and then gradually decreased.

Early second language enlightenment laid a good foundation for their later study, expanded their thinking ability, learned to distinguish, judge and choose, and broadened their global vision at the same time, becoming the next generation with competitive international vision and multilingual ability!
