It takes constant practice and reinforcement, in terms of our cognitive development of our brain. The younger you start a foreign language, the more likely you are to develop proficiency in it ... a student who is 18 has a leg up on someone who is 40, just like an elementary student will have a leg up on a college student, and may have a chance to achieve near-native proficiency.

Often I think we can accomplish things in the summertime that can't be in the three other academic quarters. Students have more time in the summer, when there are fewer major requirements being taught. We could have intensive courses in critical languages at that point where students who wanted, in the course of a single quarter, to get the first or second year of a language accomplished, they would have to be willing to study, but the incentive to do so would be there.
