Some 40 years ago I was a student at the former Tokyokyodai and we ran a study course for young children that had excellent results. I wonder why this system was never put to work in Japanese schools. The children were ages six to ten and the course was just part of their study. The student teachers who took part in the program were all enthralled with the program and as I said the results were spectacular. At that age there is no reason that children cannot learn another language. The problem is keeping the going until they are in high school and have developed and intellectual control over the language. The school system has to have a desire that the students really do learn and not fall into the trap of the myth that the Japanese people are not capable of foreign language mastery.
