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

In today‘s globalized economy, the ability to speak a

However

, I side with those who believe that

language

learning should begin at primary

. It is a fact that the earlier a child learns a

, the more proficiently they will eventually be able to speak it. Research has shown that before puberty,

have a unique ability to acquire languages by simply being exposed to them, which is a skill that ends in adolescence.

Moreover

Linking Words

, in my opinion,

children

who learn at an early age often lack the fear associated with speaking in a foreign tongue.

For example

However

, perhaps my strongest argument for starting early is that learning a foreign

language

provides

although

Therefore
