There are a growing number of language immersion(沉浸)schools in the United States，including one that was founded in Columbia called La Petite Ecole，which teaches children French as a second language.Statistics，however，show that language instruction in regular schools is actually decreasing，and relatively few Americans know a second language.
Scholars have spent years studying why Americans seem to ignore the importance of learning languages.while they have developed theories and given potential solutions，the future of language learning in the United States remains hazy.
Since 1997，the percentage of elementary and middle schools that offer foreign language courses has fallen significantly，from 3l percent to 25 percent at the elementary level and from 75 percent to 58 percent at the middle school level.However，the decline in elementary schools has appeared primarily in public schools，while the percentage of private elementary schools teaching foreign languages has remained roughly the same at 51 percent.The percentage of high schools teaching foreign languages has remained at about 91 percent.
Meanwhile，the number of language immersion schools designed to teach a second language to English­speaking children and young adults has actually increased.Since 1962,367 two­way immersion programs—schools that pair native English speakers with those who speak another native language—have developed in 28 states.
“The younger the learner is，the more likely the acquisition of a second language will be facilitated，”Adel Safty wrote in the Canadian Journal of Education.Linguistic ability shows the greatest development between the ages of 4 and 8，she wrote.
While the number of people who speak a language other than English at home is still relatively small，it has more than doubled over the past 30 years，according to a survey released in April.
People between 18 and 40 make up the largest percentage of people who speak a foreign language.The 5 to 17 age group follows closely.But，among those 41 and older，the percentage of people who speak a second language decreases.

有越来越多的浸入式语言（沉浸）在美国的学校，其中包括成立于哥伦比亚叫La娇小高等教孩子，法语作为第二语言。统计，然而，表明在普通学校语言教学实际上是下降的，而只有很少的美国人知道第二语言。学者们花了多年的时间来研究为什么美国人似乎忽略了学习languages.while他们开发的理论给出了可能的解决方案的重要性，在美国学习的未来仍不明朗。自1997以来，中小学校提供外语课程的比例已大幅下降，从31百分之百分之25在小学阶段，从百分之75到百分之58在中学水平。但是，在小学的下降主要出现在公立学校，而私立小学外语教学的百分比保持大致相同的百分之51。中学外语教学的比例一直保持在百分之91左右。同时，语言特色学校专为英语­说儿童和年轻成人教外语的数量反而增加了。因为1962367个­浸泡课程的学校，对英语母语的人与那些讲另一种语言已经在28个州开发。“年轻的学习者，更可能的第二语言的习得会更加方便，“爱迪尔安全在加拿大教育杂志写道，语言能力为4岁和8岁之间的最大发展，她写道。据一项四月的调查显示，在家讲英语的人比在家里的语言还相对较小，在过去的30年里，它的人数翻了一番多。18岁至40岁的人占了5，至17岁的年龄段的人占了最大的比例，但是，在这41个年龄段的人群中，有一部分人的百分比下降了。
