Children can not only learn a language, but learn creativity, tenacity, and discipline, but they also have lots of fun. It enriches their lives and expands their horizons.

Give it a look. I know you’ll be amazed and entertained. If you want to give the software a try it can be found at scratch.mit.edu/
