Some experts believe it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays, learning a foreign

language

has considered as a pivotal feature for better future. It is often regarded that it is more advantageous to start learning a foreign

language

at an early

stage

of

age

instead

of learning it at a later

stage

. I entirely agree with

this

and I think that it is much more significant for children to learn a

second

tongue

at primary

school

. In the following lines, it will be

further

explained.

To begin

with, learning a foreign

language

for offspring has myriad merits. One of them is that children will learn much faster and fluently when they start learning it at primary

school

. Because they are less tensed about the time and their future; the more persons raise, the more they became stressful.

For instance

, according to a research study at Cambridge University, 60% of children around the world learn faster at an early

age

stage

of their life rather than a later

stage

.

Thus

, it is recommended that parents ought to learn their dependents a foreign

tongue

at primary

school

so as not to find difficulty in learning it when they grow.

In addition

to that, there is a relation between independence and educating a foreign

language

for children at primary

school

.

In other words

, if they learn a foreign

language

at primary

school

, they can depend on themselves by working a part time occupation, which depends on fluency in a certain

language

,

besides

their study at high

school

.

This

can lead to having a great impact on their character because of the experience they gain.

For example

, according to an article published in Alhram newspaper, 30% of customer service representatives are teenagers, and these teenagers have controlled their lives more than the ones who are still dependent on their families.

Consequently

, it is recommended that public figures aware people about the effect of learning languages at an early

age

on youngster’s character in the future.

Nevertheless

, the only drawback of learning a

second

language

is that children may lose their identity. Because when the focus on other languages, they may forget how to speak their native

language

fluently.

For instance

, once in a show presented on BCC channel, interviewer Richard St. John said” 40% of youngsters, especially in Arabian countries, nowadays cannot talk their mother

tongue

because their parent have attached them to international schools, focus on educating them the most famous world

language

and do not educate them in their mother

language

”.

Thus

, parents have to make balance between learning a foreign

language

and mother

tongue

for their dependents. Having illustrated the aforementioned ideas above, it can be concluded that the benefits of learning languages at an early

age

surpasses the drawback of it, and I strongly believe in

this

.

Consequently

, it is recommended that the media give more attention to the effect of learning a

second

language

and eager parents to educate their children.
