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

In today's world with globalization and the Internet, it is obvious that speaking more than one

language

might be an essential advantage.

However

, should children start learning

second

Suggestion

a second language

language

at the time their education begins? While some feel that it is better to wait, I believe that pupils should start learning a foreign

language

immediately in the

first

grade. On the one hand, some people could argue that learning a foreign

language

negatively affects the child's mother tongue. Words from a different

language

can be mixed into the

first

language

while pupils learn to express their ideas in school or at home.

Moreover

, primary school students are believed to need a less busy timetable to be able to play and have leisure time. Having many lessons at the beginning of formal education can have a detrimental effect on students' motivation for education.

Therefore

, it is important to keep the schedule in

first years

Suggestion

the first years

as easy as possible.

On the other hand

, I side with those who believe the children at an early age are natural learners.

This

ability to learn a foreign

language

fades with as people get older. It can be seen when adults try to learn a

second

language

as they struggle and put it more effort than children.

Moreover

, pronunciation which is a problematic issue to master can be easily learned by children. They have no fear to say words and make mistakes so they improve their pronunciation much faster. Learning a foreign

language

develops cognitive skills and that can have an overall positive effect on the brain.

As a result

, children will perform better in school and life. In conclusion,

although

learning two languages at the same time might be a little confusing, development of cognitive skills at an early age will have a positive effect on a child's life.

Therefore

, on balance, I strongly believe that a foreign

language

should be taught as early as possible.
