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? Do you think there more advantages than disadvantages?

Traditionally,

children

begin studying foreign languages at secondary school. Many individual schools or educationalists have recommended studying foreign dialects at an earlier stage. Learning an unknown

language

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

however

, pupils may confuse with their

mother

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

this

policy

this

essay will argue that the benefits of studying an overseas

language

at the primary school outweigh the disadvantages. On one hand, young

children

pick up dialect much more easily than teenagers. Their brains are programmed to learn their

mother

tongue which

also

facilitates learning another

language

. At a young age,

children

are enthusiastic to explore and to learn new things. The primary timetable should allow more frequent shorter sessions for maintaining the learner's enthusiasm and progress. Acquiring foreign languages can

also

help them to understand other cultures.

On the other hand

, a child who learns their

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 the use of both styles when communicating. It can impact studying other subjects and they may face other social issues.

For 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.
