Teaching a foreign language to very young children (Lina Quiroga)

It has been proved that children and young people in general have more facilities to learn more than one language than adults.

I agree with this theory, because a young mind has less information and experience than an old mind.

The idea of this essay is focused on children and their capacity of learning new things like languages.

I think that a person who has learnt different languages in their childhood is a very lucky perosn, because he or she would have more advantages in his life like for example more opportunities in his work and social life in general.

In my opinion there aren't any disadvantages. I can only see advantages because children usually are very extrovert and they always want to receive as much information as possible. They are always asking and learning, so teaching at this time is very appropiate.

However, if you want to analyse it deeper, we can find a few disadvantages like for example that a little kid would have some problems when he wants to express himself . He won't have the same vocabulary in all the languages he has learned. Furthermore he won't try to express himself better because he would be able to use other languages.

But those things are negligible because the most important thing is that this person will have more tools to deal with in a wider world.

Ultimately, I think that it's so much better to learn a few languages early in childhoood. Thus you can discover different types of worlds and broaden your mind.
