quotes from this article:
"...the researchers report that the brains of babies raised in bilingual households show a longer period of being flexible to different languages, especially if they hear a lot of language at home".
"The bilingual brain is fascinating because it reflects humans' abilities for flexible thinking -- bilingual babies learn that objects and events in the world have two names, and flexibly switch between these labels, giving the brain lots of good exercise..."
"The researchers say the best way for children to learn a second language is through social interactions and daily exposure to the language....Learning a second language is like learning a sport [...] [t]he more you play the better you get".
