Some expert believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school.Do the advantages of this outweight the disadvantages. According to some academicians, it is better to introduce a foreign language in elementary school than in secondary school. I agree with this view.

According to

some, learning a new

language

at primary

school

is beneficial for children compared to learning it later in secondary

school

.

According to

a recent survey, student's learning capabilities are potent when they are young, and as they

age

their skill reduces for multiple reasons.

Hence

, I believe younger ones exposed to new languages get better advantages compared to senior ones and I have the following comparisons to substantiate my claim.

To begin

with, the major advantage of starting it soon is, that it provides more

time

for

kids

to

practise

and learn the new

language

. During primary

school

, the workload for studies is minimal and

hence

,

kids

can spend additional

time

writing & conversing with others in the new

language

.

On the contrary

, if they reach high

school

, the majority of their

time

will be spent extensively on important academic subjects like Mathematics, Science etc and

as a result

, they find it difficult to

practise

foreign languages.

For instance

, in many

school

curriculums, English as a foreign

language

is introduced during kindergarten and in primary schools, which provides the

kids

with up to 7 years to learn the nuances of the

language

.

Moreover

, when young, most

kids

are happy

due to

plenty of game

time

and less study pressure. Since happy

kids

tend to show more eagerness towards learning new stuff, teaching and learning a new

language

becomes comparatively easy.

In addition

to that, children at a younger

age

do not exhibit

shyness

. Because of that, even if they make mistakes

while

conversing they do not care.

However

, for the elder children, as they mature their eagerness drops

while

their

shyness

creeps in and

hence

, they find it extremely inconvenient to

practise

it in front of others, thinking they would commit mistakes.

For example

, a child exposed to a bicycle or swimming at the tender

age

of 5, learns at a faster pace compared to the older ones

due to

the same reason. So

to conclude

, in my opinion, teaching new languages to younger wards is advantageous because of their eagerness to learn, lack of

shyness

and huge free

time

for them to

practise

it.

However

,

due to

study pressure and

shyness

, senior

school

folks find it hard to master it as they

age

. But, if they can break that mindset, even older

school

folks can learn as well.
