English is international language which we can use it to communicate with stranger from other country. So it is important to learn English for every country, for example in Indonesian. English in Indonesian almost has same level with Indonesian in learning.  Because of English is useful in  future, for example to measure skill in English (toefl), to join a company etc. Therefore some people give some advises to learn English earlier, becase the result of it will be better in English comprehension. In other side, some people disagree if the English is learned earlier because some reasons.

Some people extremely agree if English is learned earlier. They think that when the English is learned earlier like in kindergarden, they will be easier to understand English when they are in elementary school until senior high school and so on. They think like that because they who learn it earlier will feel or assume that English is not foreign language for them. Then when they assume English is not foreign language, so they will be easier to learn and understand English like Bahasa.

In other side, some people disagree if English is learned earlier like in kindergarden or elementary school. They think that English is too difficult to learn moreover for students in kindergarden. They assume that to learn Bahasa Indonesia in kindergarden, the students have had difficulty moreover to learn English. English is not suitable to learn earlier for students in kindergarden because it makes them oppressed to understand English.

Beside that, Bahasa Indonesia is more important to learn because it is the main language in Indonesian. So as a Indonesian peole we have to learn and understand about Bahasa Indonesia. But in fact, in Indonesia there is someone smart in English, but in Bahasa Indonesia he/she has low comprehension and it does not make suitable as a Indonesiam peole. It is because influence of English  learning earlier so that more focus on English than Bahasa Indonesia. They think that it is enough to learn Bahasa Indonesia only until elemantary school and start to add English learning in junior high school and so on.

In this globalization English is important to master because it is useful for now and in future. English is used to communicate with someone who has different native language in chatting, bussiness etc. In indonesian English is importan too because it is one of way to measure people’s cleverness. For example English is main subject in Junior high school until university. Then some companies, English skill is one of requirement to pass the selection and join the company. So that they think that English must be learned earlier. Even though,  it is not we have to priority English than Bahasa Indonesia and learn it earlier. Bahasa Indonesia is very important too because it is the main language. Then it is  a subject in kindergarden until university even some company more priority Bahasa Indonesia than English in selection. Therefore as a Indonesian people we have to priority Bahasa Indonesia and stay to learn English not too earlier and not  too late because both the languages are important in this globalization to be someone who can adapt.
