Moreover, early exposure to a second language boosts cognitive skills such as memory, problem- solving, and multitasking. For example, individuals who learn a foreign language early tend to have better job prospects and higher salaries. A case in point is my cousin, who became fluent in English at a young age and has advanced in his career without language barriers. Body paragraph two(disadvantages) • Despite these benefits, there are challenges. Young children may struggle with maintaining focus during language lessons, which could lead to frustration.
