The increasing focus on multilingualism has led to the earlier start to learn the first foreign language in schools. The presence of foreign language learning can be recorded in many kindergartens. Early language learning helps children develop a positive attitude towards other cultures and languages as well as the creation of high-quality foundation for learning other foreign languages at an earlier age. English as a first foreign language at an early age provides a good basis for learning other foreign languages in middle school. Although many prefer English as the first foreign language, the fact is that our country and the economic environment, tourism and other forms maintains contacts with German-speaking countries, this is an evident need for knowledge of the German language. The intellectual and the overall development of the child are also encouraged for early foreign language learning.
