Description

In a number of German-speaking cantons there are campaigns to stop the teaching of two foreign languages in primary schools. The argument is that it is too exacting for the children and that it would be better to teach the second foreign language in secondary school. But Professor Martin Meyer from the department of psychology at the University of Zurich insists that the younger children are, the easier they can learn languages.
