Some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is in order to travel to or work in a foreign country. Others say that these are not the only reasons why someone should learn a foreign language.

There is no doubt that the importance learning

However

has been argued among the researchers. While some experts feel that the children should start learning

. I personally feel that there are more disadvantages of start learning the foreign

language

at an early stage than its advantages. Let’s start looking at some of the disadvantages of early learning of a non-native

language

. Many people believe that at secondary

level

children are too young to learn any languages other than their mother

language

.

This

is due to the fact that they are still in the process of learning their mother tongue and learning a
