When to start learning English for your child. When is the best time to start teaching your child foreign languages. Opinions of our teachers on the question "At what age to teach a child English?"

There is an opinion that young children are easily able to master foreign languages. Moms and dads with ambitious plans for the future of their children are looking for good courses in developing schools. Most often they choose English as the most common language for international communication. But another equally important question arises: "At what age to start learning?"

Different points of view of parents on the age aspect

From one to three

Many parents are inclined to believe that this good occupation can be carried away from one year old, well, in extreme cases, from three years old. Due to physiological development at this stage, the brain of babies is most susceptible to language perception and easily assimilates any information.

7 years

The other half of mums and dads prefer to give the child the opportunity to determine which language he wants to learn and for what purpose. Only after that it is suggested to start training. It is approximately seven years old. Perhaps interest in English language in a son or daughter, it will appear later.

Age does not matter

The most prudent guardians believe that the most important thing is to find the use of the learned language in the future. Therefore, age does not make a fundamental difference.

Opinion of teachers and psychologists

Teachers believe that a young child easily absorbs new information and reproduces it with incredible accuracy. He easily learns to pronounce non-native sounds and words, quickly memorizes expressions.

But if, after graduating from English courses, the kid does not use the language, then after a couple of months even half of his knowledge will not be left.

Parents must create the necessary language environment (speak English with the child), maintain and develop the acquired knowledge.

Teaching children under three years of age has its own nuances. The information that the seven-year-olds will learn in two lessons, their younger brothers will learn in four. English for young children should be simple, fun, playful. Early learning should be a preparatory stage for effective language comprehension at an older age. Much will be familiar by then, making it easier to learn English.

English courses for children

The opinion that the English language has been learned for many years is wrong. Because of this, by the way, many parents tend to start learning as early as possible. Modern techniques allow you to learn a non-native language in a year and a half.

For little kids

In English language courses for children, special programs taking into account their age. For younger students, everything is done in game form... It is here that the necessary language environment is created, where everything from greeting to farewell to the teacher is pronounced in a foreign language.

For easy perception it is used didactic material in the form of pictures, figures, songs, etc. If your kid said that he wants to learn English, and you were skeptical about this, then take the opportunity to attend a trial lesson. This option is available in many foreign courses. However, it is necessary to sign up for a lesson in advance. This approach will allow you to demonstrate to the child how interesting and exciting the training is, and the mom or dad will be able to see how the baby is behaving in class. By the way, after the first lesson he will be able to say something in English.

For teenagers

For adolescents aged fourteen, there are special programs for the study of a foreign language in the applied field as an alternative to a second foreign language.

Let's sum up

English courses will allow a toddler, preschooler or schoolchild to easily learn to speak, read, write and understand speech in just one year. And this base in terms of volume will in no way be inferior to the long-term schooling... Language courses from the first lesson will orient the child to the fact that by responsibly completing tasks and carefully perceiving the material received, he will easily master the language.

We adults learn English for a long time and painfully. We are looking for a suitable way, we are trying to put in our head the rules of a different linguistic system, we are “re-educating” our articulatory apparatus for other sounds.

It is much easier for a child to learn English from scratch: children literally absorb it! Those grammatical constructions that we diligently memorize, they instantly "absorb". Without analysis, which is not yet capable of, but just like that.

The child can speak both two and three languages. The main thing is to constantly deal with him. Therefore, dear adults (present and future parents), we are preparing for the upbringing of English-speaking kids! And we will help you with this.

So, on the agenda (table of contents of the article):

How to start learning English with your child on your own: the "immersion" method

Recently, a baby named Bella Devyatkina conquered our whole country. At the age of 4, this girl speaks 7 (besides her native) languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Arabic.

In fact, a child can learn more languages, because, as Masaru Ibuka wrote in the acclaimed book "It's too late after three":

"... a child's brain can accommodate an unlimited amount of information ..."

So, if the mother in the family is Russian, the father is English-speaking, and the nanny, say, is German, then the child will speak all three languages ​​without any difficulties. And there will be no "mixing" of languages ​​(as many skeptics say). It's just that mom will be with the baby for "The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree" and dad for “ABC songs”. 🙂

But Bella's parents are Russians! How is this possible then? It turns out that her mom since childhood spoke to her only in English(that is, the conditions for bilingualism were created artificially). After her parents noticed her interest in languages, they hired native-speaking tutors for her - and that turned out to be a polyglot baby.

And such an example is far from being the only one. Masaru Ibuka also talks about such bilingual children in his work (by the way, read this book - it is amazing).

If you speak English perfectly and feel confident enough to speak only it, then no theory and articles like "Where to start learning English with a child from scratch" will not need. Just talk to your baby in English. That's all.

Note: in this case, you will not be able to speak Russian with the preschooler. Other family members speak Russian to him, but you are ONLY in English.

But what to do for parents who are not so confident in their English? Indeed, in this case, learning according to the method of “immersion in the language environment” will not be possible (unless you hire a native speaker as a nanny). We will answer this question in the article.

At what age to start learning English with a child?

About this question, a whole discussion unfolded between the teachers: when is it better to start, is it worth learning English with kids or not? Our answer is yes, it is worth it. But the main thing is to wait for the child to finish the formation process native language ... That is, he will have a clear sound pronunciation and a properly developed coherent speech. Since every child develops differently, it is impossible to name any exact time frame. But minimum ≈ from 2.5 years(Not earlier).

How to learn English with a child on your own - where to start?

The best thing send the child to a special language nursery if possible. Then you will not have to take on such a serious responsibility, besides, the child will have the same “separation of languages” in his mind (at home - Russian, in the nursery - English). And you yourself can support the child's interest and progress with games, cartoons, songs, etc.

If you still want to learn English with your child on your own, then you can motivate him with an "English doll"... You get a doll (you can use a glove doll) and introduce her to the baby, saying that she does not understand anything in Russian. To communicate with the “Englishwoman”, he has to learn a new, but very interesting language. Well, then you play with this doll, watch cartoons, learn songs and poems ... all this will be discussed below.

For example, characters from Sesame Street are great as a doll.

What language skills can preschoolers develop?

Of course, no grammar, spelling, etc. Baby in preschool age maybe:

• to perceive speech by ear,
• speak myself,
• read (together with the parent, and then study / examine the book on their own, if it interests him).

That is the child will learn all the same skills English, as Russian at this age.

By the way, about "speaking" and correct pronunciation English sounds do not need to worry too much. It is we, adults, who rebuild our articulatory apparatus after the Russian sounds we are used to. A the child will learn the correct pronunciation much sooner.

To develop this skill best to sing songs and practice Nursery Rhymes behind an English-speaking announcer: children's "monkeyism" and a unique children's hearing will do their job. If, nevertheless, there are any shortcomings, then just correct the baby, but without any complicated explanations.

We invite you to figure it out for yourself English sounds. Read articles:

How to learn English with kids from the start: 5 specific ways

1. Watch cartoons in English with your child. Do you think he will not understand? You are wrong 🙂 Children at this age have incredible linguistic intuition. They may not understand the words, but they will be helped by emotions in the voices of the characters and on their painted “faces”, they will be helped by music, and so on. You will be surprised, but after watching a cartoon, he may start repeating words from it, humming songs.

Also use special Russian-language cartoons for language learning.

2. “Learn” English words and phrases with him(the first word is put in quotation marks for a reason). These are not lessons or training sessions. This is your daily communication with your child, during which you speak English vocabulary to him.

- Mom, look - the car!
- Yes, indeed a car. Do you know how it will be in English? Car! This is a car.

Main rules:

• Words to use in the context of the situation: during lunch we talk about food, while walking around the zoo we talk about animals, etc.
• Accordingly, we master only those words that are associated with the current life of the child: family, colors, clothes, animals, fruits, etc.
• Any word should be right there be reinforced: for the word "dog" is a toy, a picture / photograph or a shaggy and barking dog next to you 🙂

Such a visual image will help you learn new words with ease.

One more: so that the child immediately "mastered" the English grammar (again in quotation marks) say whole phrases to him. After all, if you say individual words to him, he will repeat the words, and if whole sentences, he will use sentences.

- Dog!
- This is a dog!

Also, to master new words, you can use various games, handouts (coloring books, tasks, etc.), while working with which the child will get great pleasure!

3. Learn nursery rhymes and songs with him. You can find them on the sites below (or search in Yandex and Google). It is best to present the child with the verse itself in the form of a small “dramatization”, because many of the verses have a certain plot under them and are easily played out (live or on dolls).

The kid may ask to translate the verse into Russian - you translate, and then again act out the “performance” in front of him. The main rule: DO NOT ask your child to repeat after you. Your the task is to interest him in this incomprehensible language... Many children can at first just listen and listen and listen, and then suddenly start “fingering” these verses by heart 🙂

For example, the song “Old Macdonald had a farm” is played out in many different cartoons. The lyrics are .

Stages of work on the verse:

• First, you yourself study the content of a poem or song, practice your pronunciation (sounds in words, intonation, rhythm).
• Then you practice to read it expressively and think over a visual support for the child: dramatization with toys, some kind of dance ... in general, turn on your fantasy!
• Now you can present your work to the baby's judgment. After that, discuss the performance with the child: what he understood, what moment he liked the most.
• Then invite your child to “join” your production and prepare a joint performance for other family members. But for this, the kid has to learn this rhyme (this is how motivation will appear).
• You can also find (or come up with) finger or gesture play based on this rhyme. Then you can periodically offer the child to play it in any suitable situations (of course, if he himself wants to).

4. Read books in English with your child. You can start when he already knows certain words. Simple plots will be quite understandable for children, and pictures will clarify the incomprehensible.

If any book really interests him, he will take it on his own and look at it, study it (this will create motivation to learn to read). In addition, the child will “photograph” words with his eyes and memorize them. appearance... It turns out, your task is to get him interested in reading.

Systematic learning to read begins only at 4-5 years old according to the principle from simple to complex:

An amazing site will help you to teach your child to read.www.starfall.com . For example, go to this section and learn to read words with a short sound / a / (æ) with your baby. Each sound is pronounced in a cheerful children's voice and is accompanied by explanatory animation. Just a find!

Where can I find books to read in English:

And remember that all the same an e-book cannot be compared to a real one, which you can touch, and then look through with enthusiasm. Therefore, be sure to buy some colorful English books in your library!

5. Start fun games with your toddler! And he will not even notice that during this game you are teaching him something. When the child is very young, organize joint games. The grown up "student" can be offered online games for learning English. Below you will find a list of both.

Learn English words for kids - games

The classic way to learn new vocabulary is vocabulary cards(i.e. word + translation + picture). By the way, there is a whole one in our blog.

Examples of flashcards from Lingualeo. Full list located .

But it will be even better if you create them together with the baby... Together you will pick up pictures, glue them to pieces of paper or cardboard, etc. Then, already during the preparation for the "games in English" the child will learn something. What to do next with the cards? Here are some options:

1. Cards can be used to play pantomime. First you tell the kid english word(and show it on the card), and the child must depict this word with gestures. Then you can play the "reverse" pantomime - the child (or you) depicts an animal, an action, an object that he pulled, and the rest of the participants guess.

2. Game “Show me”. Put several cards in front of the child, and then name one word from this list - the child must touch the desired card.

3. “Yes-No game”. You show cards and say the words right or wrong (showing the hippopotamus, say "tiger"). The child answers “Yes” or “No”.

- Is it a tiger? - No !!!

4. Game “What’s missing”. Lay out a row of cards (4-5 pieces). Look at them with your baby and pronounce the words. The child closes his eyes, and you take away one word. What is missing?

5. The game “Jump to…”. You lay out the cards in a vertical row on the floor and give the child the task to jump to a word (great if the kid is bored).

These are just a few of the card mechanics. By turning on your imagination, you can come up with even more variations of games. And we will go further. What other games can I use?

5. The game “Is it. …? ”. You gradually draw an object, and the child tries to guess it. For example, draw half a circle, and the child wonders:

- Is it a ball? Is it the Sun?
- No, (keep drawing)
- Is it an apple?
- Yes!🙂

6. Another version of the game “Is it. …? ” - a card with a hole. Cut a hole in a piece of cloth (or a piece of paper) and place it on a dictionary card. Move the hole over the picture, and the child guesses what is hidden there.

7. Magic bag. You put various objects in a bag, and the baby takes them out and names them. An even more interesting option: he puts his hand into the bag and guesses the contents by touch.

8. Game “Touch your… Nose, leg, hand… ”(in general, parts of the body).

“Touch your mouth,” you say, and the baby touches his mouth.

9. Games will help children learn the colors of the English language easily. For example, you give him objects of different colors and ask him to find and select from them things of a certain color (by the way, the same task can concern words starting with some letter, etc.).

10. Another example of playing with colors- “Find something…. in the room ”.

“Find something red in the room!” - and the child searches for something of the specified color.

11. How to learn verbs. You perform some action with the baby and say what exactly you are doing:

- “Fly! We are flying ”, - and pretend that you are flying.
- “Let’s sing! We are singing! ”And hold an imaginary microphone in your hands.
- “Jump! Jump! ”, And you jump around the room merrily.

Don't forget about role-playing games... For example, play "shop"... The child's task is to buy groceries from an English-speaking saleswoman (that's you). Before that, you remember words and phrases that will be useful to him in the store, and after that the child plays out this situation. Such a game can be played with any fictitious conditions.

And be sure act out plays, fairy tales etc. For example, invite your child to make a video or movie! The girls will definitely be delighted. 🙂

Useful sites. Learn English from scratch for kids: games, alphabet, videos, materials for printing

When the child has grown up, you can invite him to play online games. Particularly when you need free time to do chores around the house.

1. Online games for children: learning the English alphabet and words

www.vocabulary.co.il

This site was already mentioned above when it came to the game "The Hangman". It has a huge number of online word games. For example, game Whack a mole helps to repeat the alphabet in a fun way: you need to knock on the letters with a hammer and collect the correct alphabet sequence.

Take aim and hit the desired letter with a hammer

Or a Word paths game where children have to assemble words from the available letters with a specific vowel sound. As you can see, the games are designed for different ages, which means the site will help your children for many years.

www.eslgamesplus.com

Another great site with online games for kids. For example, this game, where behind the emoticons are hidden:

1. verb,
2. picture for this verb.

The task is to combine. With each attempt, the words are read out. It's a pleasure to play.

The game Pirate Waters Board Game also deserves special attention... First, choose a topic that the child already knows (for example, body parts). Then you throw the dice (for this you need to click on the image of the dice) and walk along the board. You are asked a question, and you choose the answer. If it is given correctly, you roll the dice again.

If you get on a pirate, start over. In this case the child will repeat the correct construction several times while the game is running. The only drawback is that there is no voice acting of the correct answer (which would develop auditory skills). Therefore, advice: play with your child for the first time in order to:

1. help him deal with the conditions of the game (then you can't drag him by the ears),
2. teach him to pronounce the correct answer on his own every time (so that the constructions are deposited in memory).

www.mes-english.com

This site has and materials for printing (+ the ability to make your own worksheets), and videos, and games... Let's dwell on the games. For example, there is a great online vocabulary game. First, go to the Vocabulary column and listen and memorize the words. Then we go to the Question and answer section and listen to the question-answer:

- What’s this?
- It's a Lion!

And then in the Question only column, where you and your baby already need to answer.

supersimplelearning.com

This site also has cartoons, songs and games. For example, interactive alphabet games suitable for beginner toddlers. Choose a set of letters and a level (first Level 1).

Next, click on a letter (for example, "a") and listen to the pronunciation of this letter (or rather, the sound, of course, but kids don't need to know such difficulties) and the word starting with it. All this action is supplied with a funny picture.


The game has excellent voice acting and animation!

At the next level, you are asked to choose a letter by the word you hear. At the third level, only by sound.

learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org

Another super-useful site (it's not surprising - it's the British Council). For example, word games where you need to match the word and the picture. Or Trolley Dash game where you need to quickly buy all the products from the shopping list (tested: very addicting!)

www.englishexercises.org

A large number of tasks (online and for download). For example, you need watch the video and fill in the gaps the right words(for older kids).

We are often approached by parents with a request to teach young children English. On the one hand, it seems strange: why do they deprive their children of the valuable opportunity to just play and enjoy childhood, loading them with difficult activities, forcing them to immerse themselves in a foreign language? On the other hand, this is correct: what earlier child start to learn a foreign language, the better.

Bilinguals

If you are a bilingual person who speaks two languages ​​from early childhood, then you do not need to explain the merits of mastering several languages ​​from birth. British scientists believe that a child can absorb a foreign language simultaneously with his native language, starting no later than the age of 1.5 - 2 years, when he learns to speak his native language. Therefore, if the people around the child communicate with him both in his native language and in a foreign language, he will have an excellent opportunity to become a bilingual, that is, to be fully proficient in both his native and foreign languages.

The fact is that children easily remember foreign words, they can easily copy intonation and pronunciation. If you are a parent and want to make your child a real bilingual, hurry up! Do not believe those who say that teaching a child a foreign language before 4- years old not worth it. Classes after the age of four will be a classic study foreign language, in which is based on the artificial "imposition" of a second language, and it will last for many years.

By the way, children who learn English from early childhood as a second native language rarely make mistakes in pronunciation and intonation in the future.

After 4 years of age, it's too late

By the age of 3-4, the formation of brain cells is completed by 70-80%. Any information that a child absorbs up to 4 years old is assimilated by him in unlimited quantities and is very fruitful. The intellectual capabilities of a child up to this age are unusually high. Do not be afraid to give your child too much new information and overload him with communication in two or three languages.

The child's brain is designed so that when he feels oversaturation, he simply stops perceiving information and switches to something else, postponing the absorption of the new for some period. We need to worry more about not being too little information for the development of the child, because the age of up to 4 years is extremely important in the development of the future intellectual personality.

After 4 years of age, the acquisition of a foreign language occurs as an artificial "implantation" of information. The process is no longer so fast, and the result is more difficult than when a child learns to communicate in a foreign language from an earlier age. Of course, this does not mean that teaching a child a foreign language at a later age will not give results - of course, there will be results - but a person will never have the feeling that he speaks a foreign language as his own. Therefore, the sooner parents think about teaching a child a foreign language, the better.

Young children actively explore the space around them, the world, taste everything in the literal and figurative sense. The baby does not know how to speak, but by the age of one year he is able to pronounce the first few words, and he will understand what they mean. We do not think about how to teach a child his native language, but we are worried about how to teach a child English. Although the principles are very similar.

The child does not need motivation to start talking, asking for something from parents, or chatting with friends in the sandbox. The main motivation for children is development. Language development occurs regardless of whether the parents are engaged in this purposefully, or the child is simply communicating within the family. Usually this is enough to speak and understand the speech of others without an interpreter.

When the child is already talking, can answer questions and formulate his speech into sentences, it's time to start learning a second language. According to domestic and foreign experts, the best age for this is five years. If language learning is active and successful, parents have every chance to bring up a bilingual.

Today there are many programs for teaching English and for the little ones. Literally - from three months. There is no exact data yet on how useful and effective it is to start learning at the age of five. And, of course, we are not talking about children who do not live in a Russian-speaking country or whose relatives communicate in another language.

Many teachers, specialists in child development and speech therapists believe that it is better to start learning a second language when the child already speaks Russian well, pronounces most of the sounds, and also has a sufficiently developed phonemic hearing.

How to teach your child English

A lot depends on how the study of a five-year-old child will be organized. At this age, children are restless, the main thing is to keep their attention. This is unlikely to work if the classes are uninteresting. In addition, the child gets tired quickly. Therefore, the lessons should be short.

The program cannot be similar to the program that adults would study. For example, it is useless for a five-year-old child to explain the principles of constructing sentences, since at this age he does not know such subtleties about his native language, which does not interfere with speaking it.

So the best thing before school is to just expand your vocabulary. To do this, you can listen to songs, watch cartoons in English, read simple books. Use the ruleMinus two: For a seven-year-old, use English books for five years, for a five-year-old, three years.

The older the child gets, the more complex the program should become.

Communicative

Its essence is communication. The more the child hears English, the better. Try to give this opportunity to the child. Moreover, it is important not only to listen, but also to speak.

Differentiation principle

You can show your child the difference between speaking and written speech, between listening to speech and pronouncing English words.

Integration principle

This principle states that it is necessary to combine all the main components of the language - grammar, phonetics and vocabulary.

Bilingual principle

Its main idea is to provide the child with constant communication in two languages ​​at once. In this case, English will become as familiar and easy to understand as native Russian.

Whichever principle you choose to be the main one, it is important that the classes take place in a playful way. Don't force them to learn. But looking for motivation so that the child learns with pleasure, on the contrary, is worth it.

It is good if the child understands why he needs to learn the language. If one of the parents speaks English as their mother tongue, then there is no need to look for motivation. But you can learn English in order to read your favorite books or watch cartoons that are not in Russian translation.

How to teach your child English at different ages

5-6 years old

Place the main emphasis on playful ways of learning. It will be easy for a child to learn English if the lessons succeed in learning the world... Classes should be interesting and useful not only for language learning. If the child enjoys them, then in the future English lessons will be associated with pleasure.

7-11 years old

In elementary school, classes can get more difficult, but they must remain, above all, interesting. And at this age, the child can perform mainly creative activities.

At this age, children go to school, but very rarely the teacher is able to adapt school curriculum for this age, combine play and learning.Since the student primary school gets used to learning, does not get tired so quickly, you can arrange a child for good language courses. Online schools are also a great option for this age. This is very convenient, since you do not need to waste time on the road after school, and parents will be able to control the course of classes. Many online schools, like Genius English, have programs for kids.

Over 12 years old

Start adolescence changes the interests of the child. The teenager has his favorite artists, music, films. If you use this for learning, then motivation is definitely not going anywhere.

Blockbusters in English are more interesting documentaries, and the lyrics of your favorite songs are more interesting to translate than texts about the history of London.It is good if parents, teacher or teachers in a language school understand this and think about how to bring pleasure to the teenager's studies.

Children learn everything new with ease. If you learn English from childhood, the results can exceed all expectations.Use the principle of immersion in the language environment and speak English yourself. You might want to tighten up your knowledge. This will not only be an example for the child, you can practice together.

Be sure to plan your class, find quality resources and ways to learn the language. If you choose courses, make sure they use the correct repetition system. According to statistics, after a month, 80% of new material is forgotten, and only 20% remain in long-term memory.

It’s unlikely that you’ll find free courses that teach you how to speak English really well. Good language courses and online schools will give you much more than just language skills. Learning English is still the best investment for the future.

More and more modern people strive to teach children foreign language. No one doubts the need to know a foreign language. It is considered especially fashionable today to learn English. The reason for this desire of parents is clear, because if earlier children who did not have the opportunity to travel abroad did not particularly need to know a foreign language, the situation has changed a lot today. A child needs to know the language in order to watch films in English, communicate in English on Skype and, of course, in order to get a prestigious job in the future.

Without knowledge of a foreign language to kid it will be more difficult to adapt to a world in which it may soon be impossible to imagine not only a normal free existence without English, but also a vacation abroad. Considering this and wanting to give their child something that will definitely come in handy in the future, many parents try to teach their baby English from birth. Well, if the parent himself can speak English fluently, then he has the opportunity to teach the kid English himself at no extra cost. For example, talking or listening to music in English. But what about those parents who themselves cannot say anything in English. How and when should they start teaching the child English?

Many scientists believe that you need to start learning English before the age of 3. According to recent studies, it is by this age that the development of brain cells is completed by 70-80%. It turns out that if parents speak two languages ​​with a child from birth, he will quickly and speak two languages, if - in three, then your future genius will know three languages. The period when a baby's brain is growing is the most productive period for a child's learning. As a result, scientists came to the conclusion that if you do not teach a child a foreign language up to 9 years old, then in the future the brain mechanisms of speech become less flexible and it is very difficult for the child to master English.

Many parents they do not look very seriously at teaching their children the English language, believing that they themselves do not know English perfectly, so there is no need to strain the child. They say they will teach you at school, and before that you shouldn't think about teaching English. In fact, this behavior of parents indicates their unwillingness to engage in the development of their children. According to scientists, the giftedness of children from birth is an invention of parents who themselves do not want or know how to develop their children. Abilities and talents by themselves never manifest, they must be developed from the very birth of a child.

Toddlers up to 3 years of age are ready to comprehend whatever they like. If the child does not like something, then he flatly refuses to do it. Consequently, a child of this age can learn English only by hiring a teacher who knows how to create a play situation and involve the child in it. Through the game you can convey to little man any knowledge. There are many methods of teaching English today and each teacher chooses his own way of learning. If your child is attending kindergarten, the situation is easier. Indeed, in many children's institutions today they offer to teach the child the English language, in this case, parents should not hesitate, they just need to choose those activities that will really be useful to your child.

In no case should you force the little one baby speak English no matter where he teaches English at home or in the kindergarten. At this age, the child must accumulate vocabulary. It is necessary to teach a child English in an atmosphere of love and responsiveness.

The task of the parents of the baby is to instill up to 3 years old age sense of language and everything else can be developed later. At this age, it is necessary to develop perception english kid, and for this, listen to music in English, watch cartoons and so on. An ideal option for teaching English if the parents themselves begin to learn English with their child at this time.

If the parents themselves own two languages, then be sure to teach your child his native language from birth. Knowledge of the native language opens up new layers in the mind of a child and tremendously strengthens his mind. No English teacher can achieve this, except when you hire a governess to teach English, who takes care of the child around the clock.
