Should children learn English as soon as possible?

Technically speaking, I agree with this children should begin learning a foreign language as soon as they can. But first of all, children who learn who learn a foreign language must not forget to learn their mother language well.

In nowadays society, many people regard English as the most important language to learn. Some Parents only enhance their children’s English ability, but don’t ask them to strengthen their mother language. Thus, children not only use Chinese in a wrong way but also fail to learn English well. That is a big taboo which parents attend to the superficial but ignore essentials. That is to say, I agree with learning English when they were young, but the major premise is that they should learn mother language correctly.

The reason why I agree with this method is that, I know the influence of the environment. No one can refuse the impact of environment. For example, you live in England for a while; you will use British English and have the accent. We know that there exist a significant difference between American English and British English. These differences depend on what kinds of environment people were surrounded. Apparently, if children were in a whole-English environment, they can easily learn English without pressure. I think that parents can let their children to be in touch with English when they were young, so their children will get used to English. Don’t force them to remember some things, but let them learn English in the carelessly environment which is the best way to me when leaning English.
