Re: Белла Девяткина Bella Devyatkina
She has some rich and kind of pushy parents, but it adds fuel to the fire of the discussion whether children should be started on languages young.
(My advice - as young as possible, and make it as natural and un-scholastic as possible. Not every child is equally gifted, but they all manage to speak some kind of language - even the ones that didn't do so well at school. It may turn out this girl is crap at maths, for example; who knows?)

The parents are neither rich nor pushy.
To make it a little bit less mysterious you should read 'How To Teach Your Baby To Read' by Glenn Doman.

I read at her age too. That isn't the pushy bit. Putting her on TV shows all over the planet is the pushy bit...
