Experts believe it takes 25 hours a week for a child to become proficient in a second language. For a young child, that is a good amount of their waking hours and they can’t all be spent sitting at a whiteboard or in class.

Try setting a goal of playing with a learning tool like the Shoonya app for 15 minutes per day of immersive play and sticking to that goal.
