There are currently 132 million people learning French, according to France’s foreign ministry, up from around 120 million in 2014.

The Ideal Age to Start Learning English in Spain: A Linguistic Advantage Research consistently demonstrates that starting English language education at a young age provides a significant cognitive and communicative edge. In Spain, the optimal window for language acquisition aligns with early childhood, where the brain is highly receptive to new sounds, structures, and vocabulary. Engaging children in immersive English environments as early as possible fosters not only language proficiency but also critical thinking skills and cultural awareness. According to Cambridge English, early exposure to a second language accelerates the development of a learner’s lexical resource, grammatical range, and phonological control—essential components for mastering English. Investing in language education from a young age is more than just a skill set; it's an investment in the future. #LanguageAcquisition #EarlyLearning #CambridgeEnglish #BilingualEducation #ChildhoodDevelopment #GlobalCompetence #EnglishLearning #FutureSkills #ESL #EAL #ELA
