NEW YORK CITY — Experts say that the earlier you learn a second language, the better — and there are plenty of language immersion camps in the city that will help get that process started.

"We often make the mistake of assuming that a two- or three-year-old child just doesn't have the capacity to know a second language," Juguemos a Cantar Head Teacher Jenny Pellot told DNAinfo New York.

"But not only can these kids know [it], they can learn [another language] at almost quadruple the rate of a grownup because they don't have other language schemes formed."

The non-traditional atmosphere of an immersive camp only encourages that learning, which can provide benefits throughout life, experts added.

"[Immersive learning] makes the language alive and natural through projects, field trips and the arts," HudsonWay Immersion School Director Elizabeth Willaum said. "It's so much more organic than teaching as a foreign language...you're learning culture."

With that in mind, DNAinfo New York has rounded up a list of city summer camps where your child can explore the multitude of languages and cultures that the world has to offer:
