Language learning is the process of learning to speak and understand a foreign language. It helps children to acquire practical commands of language. It is a result of deliberate and conscious effort for a better understanding of foundational skills of language learning.The language to which a child is predominantly exposed from infancy is known as the mother tongue or first language. Language skills are necessary for effective communication in any environment and to interact with others.Reading skills are transferable from one language to another, if a child is a good reader in one language she/he can be a good reader in another or in any language (when he learns another language).Given time and opportunity children can learn many languages as every child has the capacity to learn many languages. It is believed that children born with an innate knowledge of grammar which serves as the basis for all language learning and acquisition.First language has a positive impact on the second language as research has shown that many skills acquired in the mother tongue or the first language can easily be transferred to another language. e.g. if a learner develops good reading skills in Bengali, he/she is likely to be able to apply these skills to learning English.Hence, it is clear that first language interferes in the learning of a second language is NOT true in the context of language learning.
