Nowadays, in this globalize world, it is important for every individual to learn and
to communicate in different languages to succeed within any society. That is
why people from every country including El Salvador are interested in learning a
second or foreign language. Many people everywhere use languages as a
resource to educate children in their early years because there are some
advantages when learning to speak two or more different languages when still
being a child. Learning a second or foreign language as a child can have, as
has been stated before, many advantages, but also it can present some
disadvantages. For instance, the child might start to speak 3 - 6 months later
than children who do not if they start learning the language since they are born;
the child might also mix languages temporarily; at school age the child will face
an added academic load such as: reading and writing which will require
additional effort from the parents who at some point should learn the language,
too.
