According to the text "Early English popular in Shanghai", I think the best time to learn English as a second language is when babies are three years old because they begin to explore their tongue and they also have a very good imput at that age. Indeed, babies at six months of age, can identify sounds, recognize accent patterns and facial expressions from foreign languages but first, they need to reinforce their mother tongue.
I think babies learning two languages at the same time may cause confusion because they have to choose one language over another.

Dear Magena,
The issue of when the teaching of a second language should start is and will continue to be, as we read, endless.
I think that we should form our own points of view, informed by the theory we read, but also according to our experience and reasoning, just as you did.
