Chomsky on kids learning languages...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=12&v=eI4rNw6d7UY

Both my kids went to French Immersion and are fully bi-lingual as adults, although neither their dad or I speak French.

My son uses his occasionally, but my daughter landed a sweet government job because of her being bi-lingual and makes a bit more a hour there for having it (she uses it every day).

Both kids say that having the 2 languages helps them.  On holiday in Spanish-speaking countries, they can usually understand what's being said because of the language similarities.

At the time, a lot of parents were afraid of French  Immersion because most kids by Grade 3 or 4 are speaking/reading/writing a bit better in French than in English and parents panic.  But it evens out eventually.  Both my kids have said they are glad we sent them to French Immersion.

Are you considering it for your child/children?

I wasn't a kid but I learned Spanish while working in South America years ago. I find I get rusty from not using it these days but I do have a good friend from Spain who I get to email me in Spanish and I reply same for practice. I speak out loud as I'm reading and typing just to get my tongue in the right groove. I think an extra lingo for kids is a great idea.

Hey if you decide to give hang gliding a try, make sure you're hooked up.

Quite an oversight that. It would be the first thing I would check, and the last.

So apparently a mob in London thought the symbol on a buddhist monk's t-shirt was a swastika and he had to be saved by police and whisked away in a bus.

Maybe they were just trying to show him the door, but got all over excited when they couldn't find it.

Amazed this one hasn't already been banned. Spousal abuse, homophobia, drunkenness, misogyny...

Yeah, they don't really play this in public either.  I'm not sure that anyone would be amazed by that.
