Children are generally more successful in foreign language studies than adults. Thus, it is better to learn languages in childhood. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

age. I partially agree with
this
statement because learning a foreign
language
will be an added advantage for them in future but whether they are interested to
study
should be taken into consideration. Teaching languages at an early stage of
childhood
makes it easy for them to learn as compared to
adults
because various studies show that the cognitive thinking and the grasping power of children are almost double that of
adults
.
In addition
to that, learning a

Moreover

for example
, we encourage them to watch cartoon shows, poems and rhymes in other languages.
That is
the most commonly interesting thing in
childhood
. Another important thing is that parents and teachers understood children's behaviour whether they are liking it or not. At any cost, learning does not feel like a burden to them. It might show adverse efforts. If they do not want to
study
and we forcefully insist they learn.
To conclude
, learning a new

study
a new

.
At the end
of the day, It our duty to provide adequate resources for them to
study
but whether they want to
study
or not is completely depends upon individual child choices.
