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?

The popularity of learning foreign
languages
 is increasing from day to day. Several researchers suggest that a foreign
language
 should be begun studying at primary
school
 by
children
 rather than in secondary
school
.
This
 essay discusses whether or not the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. On the one hand, schoolchildren benefit from learning new
languages
 at primary
school
. The most important factor is that
children
 tend to learn a new
language
 faster and easier rather than adults or teenagers. The website "tessais.org" claim that it is due to the fact that
children
's brains absorb any information that they see or hear.
Furthermore
,
On the other hand
, there are two main disadvantages related to the idea.
First
 of all, communication difficulties are caused by learning more than 2
languages
 at the same time. As an example,
this
 issue is very common in Kazakhstan since
children
 begin studying two or three
languages
 at primary
school
. The
second
 drawback of
this
 belief is that learning a foreign
language
 may be a waste of time. Secondary
school
 students are more aware and they tend to decide by themselves which
language
 they to study than primary
school
 students.
For instance
, it is known that most pupils had to learn German at
school
 during the USSR.
However
, they couldn't use that
language
 in daily life because of some problems, including an unimportant and reluctant attitude to the
language
. In conclusion, it is cannot be said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages as it depends on an individual and parents. They should decide when a child will be ready to study foreign
languages
.
