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

Schools offer a chance to learn many things, including languages. It is often argued by some that young ones starting to learn a foreign

language

at elementary

school

reap many

advantages

than when they begin high

school

. In my view, the

advantages

of

this

are greater.

First

of all, there are some disadvantages to children learning a foreign

language

at primary

school

. They have to learn the fundamental rules and grammars of a new

language

and learn them by heart, along with studying mandatory

subjects

,

such

as mathematics and science.

This

seems an arduous task at a young age since children have to spend more time

learning.

As a result

, young ones' can feel bored and may show reluctance to study

school

subjects

. When I was in primary

school

, I had to learn the French

language

which seemed difficult to me and

this

made me lose interest in other

subjects

.

However

, other pupils enjoyed studying French along with other

subjects

and the majority of them scored good marks and

therefore

, it is not always a burden to learn a foreign

language

at the pre-secondary level.

On the other hand

, there are clear

advantages

to children studying a foreign

language

at elementary

school

. They get a solid foundation of the new

language

at a small age. The

English

language

,

for example

, had always been taught to juniors in Asian countries at primary schools, and

this

has helped them learn

English

fast and by the time they reach university, they will hopefully have attained a good knowledge of

English

which helps them understand university

subjects

well and build a better career later. A large percentage of university graduates in India handles the

English

language

flawlessly and American companies often recruit Indians, understanding their ability to communicate well in

English

.

This

shows that learning a

language

from a young age can be very advantageous. In conclusion, young ones learning a foreign

language

at elementary

school

get to know about the basics of that

language

. While

this

may put added academic pressure on them, in my view,

this

is negligible and the

advantages

far outweigh the disadvantages, especially as

this

can aid in building a promising future.
