Some experts 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? ANSWER. The best time for starting learning foreign languages is the theme which is widely discussed presently. Although some experts think that it is better for children to begin learning as soon as possible, for example, at primary school, they have opponents who believe that it worths to wait, at least, till secondary school. Both these points of view has their advantages, which will review in this essay.

At the age then children come to primary they are young enough to not to understand how it is difficult to learn something. In addition the process of education is especially easy while children are playing. If lessons look like a game, results that will be achieved will be more noticeable.

It is a matter of choice which should be made according to abilities of certain child.
