Compelling reason for babies to start learning English/ Putonghua in the first 3 months

The genetic clock for language development has been identified. The voice recognition system is developed in the first 8 months. Your baby can start learning English and Putonghua from native teachers from the day he is born, or from the 2nd or 3rd month.

There is a compelling reason for your baby to start early. Your baby can pick up any speech sound in any language effortlessly in the first 6 to 8 months, but start losing this ability after the 9th month.

Beaumont babies usually starts from the 3rd month. Jasmine, who is now 1 year and 9months, speaks beautiful English. "Jasmine speaks English better than her parents." his dad told me the other day.

Parents are sometimes the biggest obstacle for the language development of their child. "I can't see any reason why I should waste money bringing my baby to play. She will learn English after going to school."

We have gone through this ourselves, learning English until we went to kindergarten. Did it work? No, it didn't. We can never speak English like a native speaker, like the way Jasmine has succeeded in doing.

If we have evidence based program to help babies develop the voice recognition system in the 1st year, native English pronunciation in the 2nd year, and English usage in the 3rd year, why wait until the 4th year, knowing full well that the child has already missed the most sensitive period for language development?
