Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school.

Over the

half-century, the pace of change in the life of human beings has increased dramatically beyond our wildest expectations.

This

change has been driven by the booming breakthrough in science and technology.

However

, when to start learning a foreign

For example

four times faster than those above 15 years.

Furthermore

at a young age allows the student to achieve a higher level of fluency when they become youngster.

Consequently
