Some people believe that all children should learn a foreign language from the time they start school, while others believe it is better to wait until a child is at secondary school. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Being able to learn a foreign

tongue

, whether at an early age when children begin

school

or before secondary education has become a debatable issue nowadays.

However

, while some feel it would be beneficial if teenagers learn a foreign

language

before primary classes, I side with those who think children must learn another

tongue

at a very early age of starting

school

. On the

one

hand, it could be argued that pupils should learn another

tongue

except for native

one

after passing the primary level. On the account of the fact that at

this

stage of life they are often enough mature to understand whether learning a foreign

language

would be advantageous for them or not in the upcoming future.

Also

, supporters of the secondary

school

said that the youngsters can catch more easily and quickly, whatever they are taught as compared to a child.

As a result

, despite confronting problem they can translate anything from their native

tongue

to another

one

, which enables them to stick with the

language

they are learning.

However

, I believe that there are more arguments to suggest that why children should learn another

tongue

besides

the native

one

at the moment they enter

school

. As a matter of fact, at

this

stage children are more receptive to newer ideas than adults or teenagers. They are gifted with

such

aptitude that they can obtain more than eight languages up to the age of thirteen.

Furthermore

, I would argue that children often do not feel self-conscious when trying to pronounce a foreign

tongue

.

Consequently

, they do not feel reluctant about making mistakes. Obviously, which is the positive sign to move in the continuity of any process.

Besides

this

, it helps those becoming multilingual children who are having a bright life in the form of better job opportunities soon. To sum up,

although

after primary

school

adults are mature to decide to go with a foreign

tongue

or not, not feeling afraid while pronouncing any foreign

tongue

to help foster a child’s interest.

Therefore

, on balance, I believe that learning a foreign

language

should be must for children when they enter

school

.
