Reasons to let your child Study Abroad As early as possible
Taiwan is not an English Speaking Country. In today’s society, if you don’t have a bilingual ability, you will be at a disadvantage when it comes to applying for university or even a job in the future. It is recommended for parents to arrange their children to go abroad as early as possible because even in Middle school, the child’s Chinese Language is already very good. Entering the English speaking environment during this period will not affect the children’s Chinese proficiency. At the same time, they can learn English and build their English foundation earlier. We all know that non -native English speaking countries want to use English fluently, especially the spoken English. It is best to start learning from an early age because it will be more difficult to catch up or start learning when you get older.
In addition, when children are relatively young, they will not have any problems in adapting to the environment, and they will soon be able to integrate into the new environment and make new friends. Relatively speaking, older children will take a longer time to adapt .
