Hi Hugh

I envy those children who grow up speaking two languages.  We sent our children to Welsh schools and although we had to move out of Wales (with my job) before they were really established speakers the eldest now speaks Welsh and Italian in addition to English. Our grandson aged 10 now speaks English and Italian fluently.

It seems that a grasp of languages early on in life makes adding more to your repertoire that much easier.

Cheers

PS Also sorry for thread drift  .

Don't be sorry Howard! I'm rather as interested in languages myself as I'm in old cars! I absolutely agree with your assertion that early, or indeed very early, learning of two languages seems to "tune" the children mind for late learning of more.
I'm lightly gifted myself for languages though I did not benefit from such an early multi training but, hell, how difficult it is when not young!
(Also sorry then! Don't start me on languages...)
