When your child is young, it’s the best time to teach him a new language. Their minds are like sponges, ready to learn as much as they can.

Here’s how you can teach your child Spanish or Korean, from my articles for eHow:
And, if he’s having trouble with English but seems creative, maybe he’d learn better with right brain phonics:
