Certain individuals argue that students should be taught non-local
languages
since primary school rather than during secondary school. The advantages of
this
development far exceed the disadvantages because children are more malleable and presented with multiple options.
On one hand, one side asserts that it is easier for teenagers, as compared with pre-teens, to learn new things because they are less burdened
due to
having grasped the basics of their own tongue and possess more clarity with their choices.
This
is because
languages
are known to overlap in their grammatical structure and lexical resources and by the teenage, and many adolescents are ready with their career choices, aiding them in their foreign language selection.

longer since they are more moldable and are more likely to develop a love for a particular lingo as opposed to taking the course just because the career requires it.
This
is
due to
the neural plasticity of their developing brains and no other motives, other than the process of learning, being part of their psychology. To illustrate, it was found by Nature Magazine that early childhood education is almost 72% more important than the later stages as with every question asked, a new synapse is created in the brain at that time.
Moreover
,
this
newly created connection creates the urge to ask even more questions, eventually developing admiration for the whole process.
Therefore
, it is even more important to give these learners a healthy breeding ground
instead
of just another arrow in their arsenal.
In conclusion, few people think that it is important for children to learn other
languages
as early as possible. In my opinion,
