It
is clear that
learning a foreign language brings children several advantages. However, learning a foreign language requires attention,
perseverance, time and work. Besides, some scientists say it may also have some drawbacks.
Firstly, most
of experts agree on the fact that young children learn a language faster as they are enthusiastic to explore and
learn new things. In addition, they
pick up the pronuciation better and enjoy copying and learning through games. Secondly, nowadays, foreign languages are just as impotant as maths. What is more,
learning a foreign helps students have better education and job opportunities.
On
the other hand, it is said that learning languages increases work for
parents and this effort adds extra academic load. We should also consider the fact
that children need to concentrate on learning their mother tongue rather
than learning a foreign language, sometimes missing their own
cultural identity. Furthermore, learning
a new language at an early age may be
confusing and a waste of time. As a result, this learning could even delay the development of the child’s first
language.
In
conclusion, studies show that there are many
advantages to learn a foreign language. Nevertheless, in my opinion, we have to consider pros and cons of learning at a very young age. I strongly feel
languages always open doors, but, from my point of view, they should be learned once the
first language has been developed.
