How does language unify people?

Usually, people who speak the same language are part of the same culture and can communicate more easily with each other. However, this is not always true.

Is learning another language an important as math science or literature?

Yes it is. Learning another language gives you insights into the way people in other countries and cultures see things because language is always a reflection of the society it is used in. You may never move out of your own country, but in a globalized world, you could meet people from other cultures even in your own home town. Even if you can't speak their particular language, having a knowledge of a different language could help you to understand them better and perhaps help them to integrate better. Another aspect is that learning another language can help you to understand your own language better. You cannot learn another language without learning something about the mechanics of grammar and syntax. Teaching of grammar went out of fashion in English-speaking countries a while ago and is now being reintroduced. Many people only begin to understand the structure and possibilities of their own language when they begin to learn another language.

Why is it bad to learn a second language?

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
