Thank you.
Of course, this is not a recent issue. It is something that we have been looking at through research on bilingualism for many years now. In terms of the best time to begin, I would say, the earlier the better, for all kinds of reasons: first of all, because a child has a more flexible brain, and also, for reasons that relate to the types of educational methods that can be used with children, methods that are not effective with adults. That does not mean that an adult cannot learn another language later on. That is absolutely possible, but there are pedagogical questions that come into play at that point. They cannot be taught a language the same way others are.
To summarize—and this was a trend and major Canadian find that has been exported outside of Canada, all across Europe—it is about immersion beginning as early as possible.
I would just like to add, in another context…
