However

Although

obtaining a foreign dialect in secondary

might be better, I believe that the merits of learning foreign vocabulary in junior high

school

outweigh its demerits which

this

essay will buttress in the following paragraphs. Foreign

languages

are those

languages

that are not taught by the parents and not used to it. One of the major disadvantages of having knowledge of foreign speech at kindergarten

school

is due to lack of concentration.

This

is because their brain has not reached the

stage

of assimilating ambiguous vocabularies. They have some vital things to learn at that particular

stage

such

as good morals , values and their mother's tongue. Teaching them a foreign

language

at that

stage

might divert their minds from acquiring the basic things of life which may bring an exhibition of bad character to the society

also

poor academic performance. There still have a lot of time to learn it maybe during their university days .

For instance

, my cousin that turned 6 years cannot greet his senior ones but can express himself in a

non-native

language

.

Hence

, teaching the youngsters

non-native

dialect might reduce the level of focus they are supposed to learn the essential attributes they are supposed to acquire.

Nevertheless

,there are a plethora of benefits when

children start learning foreign vocabulary at their elementary

school

which I believe.

Firstly

, it may be for easy adaptability.

This

is because most

children tend to travel overseas for tourism and vacations and without learning the

language

of that particular county, they cannot cope well in terms of

language

, culture and traditions and equally how to escape when dangers occur.

For example

, my brother got drowned when he went for a picnic in Ghana because he was not able to express their

language

despite the life savers being there.

Therefore

, adaptability is a crucial factor for them to learn a non-dialect at their common

school

.

Secondly

, it boosts confidence. Acquiring foreign vernacular at that

stage

of their life might help them not to feel intimidated because they will be able to express themselves, thereby minimizing the level of low self-esteem or not socializing with their peers.

This

will help them to be outspoken without fear of anybody. To illustrate, research proved that learning

.

Finally

, it helps for easy understanding.

This

is because their brain cells at that

stage

are too sharp and will be able to obtain any information without stressing themselves. They tend not to have anything getting them worried that might make them lose focus because most of their needs are been cared for by their parents and loved ones. Conclusively, many individuals believe that learning a foreign

language

at elementary

school

might bring insufficient concentration.

Nonetheless

, I believe that the benefits supersede the drawback because it helps to adapt to an environment, build self-confidence and easy assimilation.

Thus

, government and top officials should provide foreign teachers that will teach them their

languages

and

also

educate scholars on the benefits of learning

languages
