Hi there,
It's not that the kids shouldn't learn a nother languaje as much as they shouldn't learn it at an early age, this is due to the fact that , in their early years they are still learning theyr home language, so in most cases they end up mixing or confusing words, which can result in a slower learning of both languages and/or a mixed language that can be hard to understand, personally i think 9/10 years is a good age to start taking another language
I hope that's the answer you were looking for :P
I think it is when you learn a second language. Like, if you speak English as your first language, then learn to speak Spanish fluently, you acquired Spanish as your second language.
Example: Your mother and father speak Spanish to you. You have learned Spanish before any other languages. That is your first language. Then, you learn English because you live in America. That is the second language you learn. That is English as (a) second language. The second language you learn is your (language) as (a) second language. I hope that helped.
Any language you learn after your first (native) language is considered a second language. There is no specific one.
Learning a second language was difficult.
A native language is a language that you learn after you born and second language can be described as a language that you learn after your learn your native language. It is also possible that you can be a bilingual speaker.
Learning a second language can be challenging and time-consuming, and may not be a priority for everyone. Some people may not have the resources or opportunities to learn a new language, or they may prefer to focus on other skills or interests. Ultimately, the decision to learn a second language depends on individual goals and circumstances.
sure unless you want to learn an easier language like dutch first
Yes, English is taught as a second language in many schools. About 37% of Polish people can speak English as a second language.
Most of Indonesian learn Indonesian language as second language aside of their local regional language.
Learning a second language can be done at any age, but it is generally easier for children to pick up new languages due to their developing language skills. However, adults can also learn a new language successfully with dedication and practice. It's never too late to start learning a second language.
My experience of meeting Romanians is that if their first language is Romanian they learn French as a second language but if their first language is Hungarian they learn German.
Your first language is your mother tongue, the language your mother spoke to you as a child. Your second language is the next language you learn either as a child or as an adult.
