Some experts believe that 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?

It is no doubt that being a bilingual or multilingual is more beneficial than a monolingual.

Therefore

, children in these days are made to study languages at the very young age. Some professionals reckon that it is beneficial for learners to study a foreign expression at primary academy rather than secondary school. Personally, I do think that the benefit of

this

can exceed the drawbacks. On the one hand, children are supposed to study a foreign

language

at primary academy because of these following reasons.

First

and foremost, one of the major benefits of introducing a new

language

early is that it helps the child gain higher levels of proficiency of it as the studies have shown that the children between 4-9 ages have a great opportunity to learn new languages.

Secondly

, learning another

language

can be a good background for children in their

further

education since they could build a native-like accent, pronunciation and have a right perspective of the

language

.

On the other hand

, forcing children to learn many different languages has its drawbacks too. The most potential disadvantage of learning multiple languages can be mentioned is that children may confuse the foreign dialect and their mother tongue.

As a result

, it may take longer to achieve the fluency in using their

first

dialect.

However

, in my opinion,

this

problem can be easily solved if their parents spend more time using their mother tongue in everyday conversation.

Moreover

, children may be put under strain as they have to acquire both languages and compulsory programs at an institution

such

as basic numeracy and literacy. To conclude, there are some particular advantages and disadvantages of learning a new foreign jargon at the earliest age.

However

, from my perspective, these advantages can outweigh disadvantages.
