Effective everyday communication assumes more and more often at least an elementary knowledge of languages for special purposes. The scientific reflection on languages for special purposes, especially in the context of linguistic considerations and, to a lesser extent, glottodidactic, conducted some time quite extensively. This, however, does not translate into concrete actions aimed at effectiveness of teaching and learning languages for special purposes. The intention of the author of the article is to discuss the advisability of early teaching and learning of (foreign) languages for special purposes and possibilities of placing their elements in the earlier stages of learning a (foreign) language, taking into account current trends in teaching and learning of languages for special purposes. Thus, the attempt is made to revise the prevailing view on the need for prior teaching and learning basic languages before teaching and learning languages for special purposes.
