Could anyone correct my essay about ''learning a new language in childhood''? Firstly, I think that nowadays more and more children are encouraged to learn a new language, becouse of the competitive world in which we are immersed. Given that today’s society is increasingly ambitious, sometimes it is the parents themselves who want their children to become familiar with a foreign language other than their mother tongue. In other words, learning a foreign language from an early age has become a growing trend in many countries. Many are the debates on this: basically there are those who argue that children had better learn a new language at too young an age, and others who are convinced that in reality they are too childish to ‘’capture’’ or understand the true essence of a language and would end up being confused. I personally stand up for those who believe that the best time for people to learn a second language is when they are very young, seen and considered their naive attitude towards life. Owing to the fact that they’re full of vitality and curious, this would help to learn much faster than an older person. Children are like a sponge: they absorb all information provided. On the other hand, we should not take into account that a premature study of a foreign language also has drawbacks: Children need to concentrate on learning their mother tongue first, in order to be able to understand others. Sometimes it could happen that unfortunately you are taught by a not well trained teacher and the consequences could be crucial. According to many studies, the best time to learn a new lenguage is by the age of 10. However, in my opinion, learning a new language at primary school is more beneficial than disadvantage. If I had to decide in the future whether let my my child learn a second language, I would push him/her to do it at a tender age.
