The importance learning a foreign
language
, has increased dramatically in the past few decades.
However
, the start period of learning a foreign
language
 has been argued among the researchers. While some experts feel that the children should start learning a non-native
language
 as early as at primary
level
, others think that it should be started at the secondary
level
. I personally feel that there are more disadvantages of start learning the foreign
language
 at an early stage than its advantages. Let’s start by 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
second
language
 can result in the overburden.
Secondly
, some experts
also feels
Suggestion
also feel
have also felt
are also feeling
 that in the process of learning two languages simultaneously at early levels, children might end up with ‘jack of all master of none’ kind. So, they feel that kids should be focused only on their mother
language
 at primary school so that they can gain complete expertise in their native
language
 until they start learning a foreign
language
 at secondary
level
. Another segment of the society feels that the school children should start learning a non-native
language
 at secondary
level
.
This
 is because children have more abilities of adoption and learning in the early stages.
This
 is their learning period and they can learn quite easily and quickly at
this
level
, whatever they have been taught.
For example
, it has been proven that the children never forget the early lessons of life and the things which have been taught as children are unforgettable for life time. All points considered, I strongly believe that the disadvantages of learning a foreign
language
 in terms of overburdening the children and not gaining the complete expertise in one
language
 at an early age outweigh the advantages of early adoption.
