Yes for your info kids in year 1-4 can learn up to 3 lang.
In most cases, it is easier for younger people to learn another language than older ones. 8 - 14 are good age to learn languages fast, than older. However, it is better to learn with a teacher.
On their own (young people), it might be a bit harder than the older ones - to learn without a teacher or instructor. Here's a good site for it: japanese.about.com/od/japaneseles….
Not in one year, you would not be able to learn any language completely in one year, a couple a least.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
