At what age should children start learning a foreign language? At what age should children start learning foreign languages

This question in the third part of IELTS oral English is related to the topic cards related to language/foreign language, and belongs to the introduction sub question of Part 3 of this type of topic cards. Students who are new to IELTS speaking may find it difficult to deal with such problems in the examination room. Therefore, I am not sure at what age children should learn foreign languages. In fact, the old roast duck would like to remind everyone that there is no need to tangle here. There is no conclusive conclusion on such a question. What the IELTS Oral Test requires is reasonable words. If you focus too much on one problem or another, you will lose the fluency of language, which is not worth the loss.

Well, honestly, I have no idea as I don’t know much about young language learners. But, I figure they should start at the age of three, which is when they go to kindergarten. The reasons why I think they should start learning during this time are they have an acute sense of observation and their imitation is impeccable, which allow them to acquire the foreign language especially the speaking part easily than older students who are in middle school. This article is from Laokaoya website. You know, once they pass that age, it’s kind of difficult to correct their pronunciation to speak without accent.

To be honest, I don't know young foreign language learners, so I don't know the situation. However, I think they should start from the age of three, which is when they start kindergarten. I think the reason for this is that they have very keen observation and quite good imitation ability at this age. Compared with middle school students, these abilities can help children to master foreign languages more easily, especially the oral part. Once they are over that age, it is difficult to correct their pronunciation to speak without accent.
