Abstract
Abstract: Learning foreign languages in kindergarten has become increasingly
important in today's globalized world. Early exposure to foreign languages can have
numerous cognitive, academic, and social benefits for young learners. In this article,
we will discuss the importance of learning foreign languages in kindergarten, the
potential benefits for children, and the ways in which early language learning can be
implemented in educational settings. We will also explore the specific context of
Uzbekistan and provide examples of how early language learning is being promoted in
the country.
