To a greater extent I believe that learning a foreign language can indeed reduce a kid’s cultural identity because learning a foreign language will logically demand the learner to adapt his/her values and behavior. As kids are learning they will naturally learn to adapt to the culture they’re learning about as well. Kids easily make everything a part of them so when they are constantly being taught a foreign language on a daily basis, it easily becomes a part of them.Remember when learning a different language there is a strong connection between the language and culture and that it is represented in the culture of the speakers so I believe in order to ensure that kids don’t lose their cultural identity, they should also use the education system to help them maintain a balance by educating them on ways they can keep their culture in mind while learning a different one as well. Languages do not change you as a person but what changes you is that you become aware of something different which can modify the way you previously saw things which applies to adults as well.
