Hello, Ken. A few years ago, I read an article reporting that English language education had been introduced in the third grade in elementary schools in Japan. Some scholars argue that Japanese people should start learning English as early as possible. My opinion is exactly the same as theirs. In addition, recent research has revealed that being bilingual is good for the brain and helps delay the onset of diseases like dementia. I believe that Japan should continue to promote early bilingual education. What do you think? I would be glad to have your opinion on this issue.
Best wishes,
Harry
