On the one hand, the smaller the child is when he begins to study, the easier it will be and
more benefits it will bring. This is because when the kids are little, they learn the language in
a natural way and so they do not have to make a voluntary effort to learn it, because they

society greatly appreciates.
On the other hand, the child can have access to two different cultures. This enriches their
education and enables them to look at the world with an open mind. In this way, the child
can communicate with people of other nationalities, having access to a globalized world. It
is also important to note that the more languages they know, the easier it is to learn a new
language. Besides, young children are not usually shy about speaking in a different language.
To sum up, we are convinced that childhood is a good time to start talking and practicing
English without fear of making mistakes, acquiring self-confidence for the future.

way. We visited the “Plaza de la Virgen” and we went up to the “Miguelete”, which is the
bell tower of the Cathedral of Valencia. The children climbed 207 steps but it did not matter
