I feel like there's a difference in students who have started between 1-2 years old and continued on. They're pronunciation is clearly better than older kids, but also their willingness to just try to understand and not translate.

The key is that they have to continue for years to make that early exposure worth it. The majority (for any variety of reasons) don't stick with it. So, now my advice is for parents to enroll kids around elementary school age and stay the course if at all possible.
