Although it has been thought that teaching a foreign language to young children might be futile, more and more young learners are being taught a second language.  There are two main arguments that can be advanced to support early foreign language teaching. 


Firstly, young children are natural language acquirers. Unlike adolescents and adults, they do not learn in a contrived way. Children not only have the ability to imitate pronunciation, but they can work out the language rules for themselves. 
Another key thing to remember is that young children are self-motivated to pick up a language without conscious learning.  They have time and energy to learn through play-like activities. They are able to immerse themselves in a language through play and exploration.

There are still dissenters to the view that children should be taught a foreign language as soon as possible. The opponents claim that young foreign language learners experience a significant risk of developing speech or language problems. They claim children should master their native language first. Nevertheless, there is no overwhelming evidence corroborating that notion. 


Taking into consideration all the aforementioned arguments, it seems to be obvious that it would be a waste not to use a child's natural ability to learn a foreign language during their most vital years.  I strongly believe children should start their foreign language education when  learning a second language is as easy as learning the native one.
