Benjamin Constant was aged four when his tutor suggested that they invent a language.
They went around the estate, naming everything, and working out a grammar, and they even invented special signs to describe the sounds.
Ben was aged six before he discovered that he`d learned Greek.

Hi Axinia, I read it somewhere that, a young mind between the age 2 -5 has the capacity of learning upto 10 languages at the same time. This inventive way of teaching a language sounds interesting. But if the child is exposed to the languages he/she can grasp easily and learn than teaching it forcefully.
Axinia,
I recently learnt to speak confidently in Hindi…one main thing I found by experience is , we learn a language much easily if we start thinking in it 🙂 …..and words vocab flow 😀
what do u say?
