Because many children are not able to learn foreign languages, schools should not force them to learn foreign languages. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

As many students at primary ages do not feel comfortable learning a foreign language, whether schools should teach them a non-maternal language or not is said to be a topic of intense debate among many . Although it is suggested by psychologists not to place new learners in stressful conditions, acquisition of how to speak non-native vocabulary would seem to open new horizons to children. So, I strongly believe it has merit.

Some people believe that all the children in school are required to learn at least one foreign language. However, others say that those who are not talented do not have to learn. What is your opinion?

As the world has globally interconnected, people from all over the world can easily talk to each other. By learning an extra language, no matter where you are from, you can easily work with the foreigners. As a result, children are widely expected to learn a second language at a very young age, while others claim that it depends on the ability to adapt new language of each student. Although we cannot force an untalented child to learn something they are not good at, I myself believe that it is better to learn a foreign language as soon as possible.
