Same thing, I'm looking for a good explanation why it's not that important what language you learn first.

E.g. if they learn carpentry, and the classes teach them how to do dining chairs (proper tools, wood characteristics, drilling and gluing techniques). But in real world they'll have to make tables. Does it really matter if they learned to make chairs not tables?
