Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary schools rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

It is considered by some

language

professionals that children should be allowed to study a new

language

at junior

school

instead

of a high

school

. Learning an unknown

language

is not that simple and it makes really easy when you are young,

however

, pupils may confuse with their

mother

tongue and may lead to mix speech. While acknowledging that there are drawbacks that

this

essay will argue that the benefits of studying an overseas

language

at the primary

school

outweigh the disadvantages. On the one hand, it should be noted that learning an accent which is other than a

mother

tongue is a difficult thing to do.

However

, if

this

is thought at the schools, especially at the basic level, turn students to speak like a native speaker.

Likewise

, it helps them to easily remember and recall a range of vocabularies and become familiar with the grammatical structure.

For instance

, French grammar has gender for things. It would be extremely complicated to learn a new

language

with other additional subjects at the high schools.

On the other hand

, a child learning whose

mother

tongue since birth, listening, watching and speaking in the same

language

for a considerable period may become confused when a new

language

is introduced.

This

,in turn,leads to a confused state and use both languages when communicating. It can impact studying other subjects and they may face other social issues. One good example is that in England, immigrants’ children use words from both their

mother

dialect and English to convey a message. In conclusion, though there are disadvantages of feeding a foreign

language

to children at primary

school

it benefits them to be proficient which outweigh the disadvantages.
