For the past few months，my three-year-old daughter has spent an hour every week learning a

foreign language． She walks into a small room in a local school， where she and a handful of

three and four-year-olds spend the next hour dancing to "La Vaca Lola"，a song about a Spanish 第2页，共12页 cow， creating finger puppets（木偶）to voice what they like and don，t like （me gusta，

no me gusta） and shouting out which animals are big （grande） or small （pequeno）．

She tells us little about the classes． In fact， for the first few weeks， nothing at all． I begin

to wonder if it．was a huge mistake （each lesson works out at about £9）but then I show her

"La Vaca Lola" on YouTube． She shouts vaca with enthusiasm and with what I hope is a

Spanish accent．

a long time，I felt that it would be good for her to learn another language but I had no great plan

as to when．

about the economy combined into a panic． Waking in a sweat， it seemed obvious that if my

daughter was to have any kind of future， she would have to learn another language． Ideally

according to the British Council （others include Arabic， French， German， Portuguese，

Italian， Russian，Dutch and Japanese）． But there were no classes for young children nearby・ There were， however， local Spanish classes--the number-one language on the list． When

she started to sing "Incy Wincy Spider" in Spanish and English一helped by a Spanish nursery

worker一our decision was made．
