Learning a new language is definitely a good thing to do for children. However, some people claim that it is better as the foreign language is started to teach at junior school rather than middle school. While I accept there are some drawbacks, I think that these are outweighed by the benefits of this trend.
On the one hand, there are certainly some problems associated with learning a foreign language at primary school. First of all, learning a lot of another language can make children forget partly or use their mother tongue language improperly. For example, they have to study a lots different languages, they do not have much time to learn their native one. Therefore, it is difficult for them to study and understand other subjects well. Second, their pronunciation can be affected if their teachers pronounce incorrectly. If it keeps maintaining, their pronunciation will be wrong and hard to correct. As a result, foreigners may not understand what they say.
On the other hand, I believe that there are great advantages of this trend. Firstly, children are more likely to imitate pronunciation better. Because children are usually active, it is easy for them to copy foreigners' voices. If they do it again and again, they will speak another language correctly and fluently. Secondly, learning a new language broadens their knowledge. They have good opportunities to access unlimited information resources thanks to hi-tech devices such as smartphones and computers, children can use them to search for whatever they want.
In conclusion, the advantages of learning foreign language has more than compensated for the drawbacks.
Learning a new language is definitely a good thing to do f or children. It opens all kinds of doors for them later in life. However, some people claim that it is better as the for kids to start learning a foreign language is started to teach at junior when they are still in primary school rather than instead of middle school.
