So how to cultivate babies' interest in English from an early age? What are the precautions for babies to learn English? The following editor will introduce you in detail.

How to cultivate your baby's interest in English from an early age

Conduct gaming activities

Games are an important part of young children's lives. Their imaginations are extremely active, so their games are also very interesting.

Show your acting talent

Performance activities can cultivate children's creativity. After children have learned the English names of small animals, they can use performances to consolidate the learned words.

Sing and dance

It is a child's nature to be active and playful. In teaching, based on this characteristic of children, designing sessions for children to sing and dance can fully mobilize children's enthusiasm and enable them to learn English in a relaxed environment with physical and mental pleasure.

How can adults help improve babies' interest in English?

Contact Life

Most young children are curious when learning English. They begin to show a strong interest in new things and new knowledge, but it can be said that their enthusiasm only lasts for three minutes. Therefore, when teaching letters, we connect them with real life, create life situations to motivate children, and achieve good results.

Create a situation

A pleasant mood is the basis of effective learning. Using toys to create an atmosphere for learning English can induce children to want to try it themselves, so that the mastery of sentence patterns is in a state of natural extraction from life experience, which is in line with the psychological characteristics of children and enhances the learning effect.

Timely encouragement

There is a saying that goes, "Good children are praised." Yes! Humans are animals that crave praise and rewards. Everyone hopes that their little progress can be recognized by others and hopes to hear praise from others.

Things to note when babies learn English

It is not the case that the earlier a child learns English, the better. Every child has different growth, development and receptive abilities, so parents should choose the right time to learn English based on their child's receptive abilities.

To create a good language environment, both teachers and parents should have solid and correct basic English knowledge, standard and fluent oral skills, and at the same time be able to create a rich and colorful language environment for children to practice and use foreign languages.

Language learning requires perseverance. Language learning is a long and arduous process. The worst thing about English learning is "three days of fishing and two days of drying the net". Children often only seek temporary novelty, which requires parental supervision and promotion.

Taboos for babies to learn English

Don’t rush for success, which will cause psychological burden to children. Many parents will ask teachers anxiously and puzzledly: “What is being taught in English recently? Why don’t our children speak a word of English to us when they come home?” Obviously, parents must often ask their children what English they have learned in kindergarten, whether they can speak it, and what English songs they can sing.

"Listening" should come before "speaking". When children learn English in their early childhood, we should not rush to let them "speak", but first cultivate their interest in "listening" and make sure "listening comes before speaking".

Do not neglect other aspects of learning. Many parents want their children to perform well in English learning, so they increase their time and energy investment in this area, but children's development should be comprehensive, and they should not only focus on learning English and ignore other aspects of education.
