Essay: Should children already start to learn foreign languages during their primary school years? Good evening guys! I'm writing essays to improve my written English. It would be very nice if someone could correct this one: Today, speaking and writing in foreign languages brings up many advantages. That's why a lot of parents and teachers demand to start learning foreign languages already in primary school. Others say that they should start in secondary school. Firstly, for a lot of children it is not easy to accustom to the school life. Learning a language in the common way with vocabulary and grammar need a lot of time, so to prevent the kids from an overload, it can be better to do the primary school without foreign language teaching. Despite of this, it is scientifically proven that learning a new languages has very positive effects for mental health and development. This can lead to more success of the kids in secondary schools and later in the working life. Furthermore, most children in primary school are very enthusiastic and like to explore new situation. For this, learning new languages is perfectly suitable. For instance, you can explain a lot of knowledge very practical and organize it in games. In conclusion foreign language teaching is already in primary school suitable, but should start slowly to prevent an overload of the children. In my opinion the probably best method would be to begin with games in little groups where you not only get to know the language but also the culture of the specific country.
