People scrape by in their native language until they have to scrape by in their second language. If they know they can use their native language as a crutch, bye-bye survival instinct and incentive to improve in the second language. People also are much more capable of second-language acquisition prior to puberty.
Clearly I am a xenophobe who knows nothing about second-language acquisition and has never left his hometown. Racist Republican blah blah blah.
