Exposing children to a foreign or second language at an early age helps them develop an "ear" for the language and achieve better pronunciation and fluency later in life. Children that speak more than one language learn to negotiate meaning as a crucial part of communicating in more than one language system. This also helps them with problem-solving tasks, and gives children the ability to seek different approaches to solve a problem.
