The process of learning a foreign
language
is very complex. Infact a lot of skills are involved in it. The are different approches and theories about wich is the better method of assimilation. There are evidences that earlier a person start to do that better it will be the result. On the other hand
it seems difficult to determinate when it is the best moment. Although
at the beginnig of the primary school
usually kinds don't have the maturity to unterstand also
the grammar rules of their native language
, it is more natural for them to replicate and assimilate sounds than for student in the secondary school
. Furthermore
the brains connections work faster in kids than in teenagers. Due to
the fact that students in the primary school
are usually able not only to learn in a shorter time than the students of the next grades, but, considering that learning a foreign language
is not only a matter of number of words and grammar rules, they are also
able to modify their thoughts. An other advantage of a earlier approch with the study of a language
is that students will be able in the future to manage really complicated analyses in other languages: their knowledges will help them when the problem will be not only to understand the meaning of the different words, but also
to solve complex cases. I.e. considering subjets like law: reading a law test is difficult also
for mother tongue people: the concepts are articuleted and only with a deep familiarity of the law technical language
it is possible to enucleate the fondamental meanings. From my personal experience, as a lawyer, I think that only a person who studied a foreign language
from the primary school
will be able to manage instruments in that language
as an adult. In conclusion it is my opinon that advantanges wastly exceed disadvantages at learning a foreign language
in the primary school
instead
in the secondary school
