How many of those children pushed into learning a second language actually learn it to the point of fluency? In my experience, that number is nearly zero. For every student who attains fluency from school, there are dozens who don&#x27;t.<p>I&#x27;m having a hard time figuring out exactly how they selected people in the various studies referenced in the article, but the lack of any reference to native versus non-native languages indicates to me that they&#x27;re looking at people who speak multiple languages natively. Many of the referenced studies are about young children, who simply wouldn&#x27;t have had time to learn a language to fluency in school.
