The spoken word is the key to learning languages in the early grades. Songs, poems, rhymes, tongue-twisters, counting and group games—all these foster group knowledge of the language and appreciation of the folk soul of the peoples who speak that language. In the later grades, keeping a written record of all the oral work brings awareness of spelling and basic grammar in the language. Reading in the foreign language begins in grade four. Children gain understanding, a sense of brotherhood and real enthusiasm for other cultures in foreign language classes, and strong foundations for later work and fluency.
