Now, because the global economy is so closely interconnected, the importance of foreign languages is obvious. Many parents buy English books, pictures and even videos for their children from an early age, hoping that their children will learn foreign languages as soon as possible. Many kindergartens have also begun to teach foreign languages to children, and even some key primary schools have generally opened foreign language classes.
Moms and dads are right to teach their children to speak English from an early age, because there are many benefits to learning a foreign language from an early age, and it can also form a unique language advantage. First of all, physiologically speaking, the child's articulatory organs are still developing before puberty, and there is a lot of room for change. If a second language is learned during this period, the articulatory organs will adapt to the way the language is pronounced and produce accurate sounds.
Secondly, from the perspective of environment and psychology, it is more advantageous for children to learn foreign languages than adults. When adults learn a foreign language, they worry about whether they are speaking it correctly or not, and they are afraid of losing face. But children have not yet developed "language self-esteem", they do not care if it is their mother tongue, and they do not resist learning a foreign language. In addition, adults encourage and appreciate the child's progress, which also encourages the child to learn a second language.
Again, children are born masters of imitation. From a very young age, they begin to imitate the sounds they hear and the images they see, and slowly form their own understandings and judgments. When children reach the age of one or two, they will be able to imitate the pronunciation and movements of adults. Learning a second language at this time is like a matter of course, and you don't feel difficult and stressed.
Based on all these advantages, boys have an advantage in learning foreign languages. Moms and dads can take advantage of these advantages and use the right methods to develop their boys' foreign language skills as early as possible.
My advice for young parents
Method 1: Make the boy enjoy learning a foreign language
Learning a foreign language is not just for exams or getting a job, but more importantly for communication. If a boy is interested in a foreign language, he will naturally want to learn it, and the exam will be easier. You know, language is like a tool for us to communicate, and it's very important. Therefore, parents should help their child find the foreign language content that he is interested in, so that he will want to learn more and learn more knowledge.
For example, when a mother teaches her child a foreign language, she not only teaches words and grammar, but also adds foreign things and cultures, so that the child finds learning a foreign language interesting. In this way, the child will be interested in both the country and its language, and then take the initiative to learn.
Method 2: Be patient and don't rush
Learning a foreign language is not something that can be learned all at once, especially if you have already learned one language, it will be more difficult to learn another. Therefore, parents should tell their children to be patient in learning foreign languages, and they can't fish for three days and dry nets for two days. Learn a little bit every day, review more, listen more, speak more, practice more, and slowly you will learn well. For example, saying "Good bye" before school every day and saying "Hello" to your parents after school will make it a habit.
Method 3: The content of the teaching should be related to life
When parents teach their children foreign languages, they should choose those things that are common in life. For example, teach them to name cars, vegetables, fruits, animals, and family members. You can also teach them some everyday phrases, such as saying hello and saying thank you. In this way, the child can use it in his life and remember it more easily.
Method 4: Use games to learn a foreign language
Boys love to play games, so parents can teach them foreign languages through games. For example, singing English songs, acting in sketches, reading English books, etc., make learning fun. You can also make small cards with pictures and words, and let the children do it themselves after teaching the sentences, so that they can remember it more firmly.
In short, to teach a boy a foreign language, it is necessary to use it in a simple and interesting way, so that he can use it in his life. At first, you don't need to rush to learn the alphabet, you can first touch it through a few words, and then learn it completely. The main thing about learning a foreign language is to understand and speak, and it is not necessary to write homework. Review every day with intuitive props, and you will gradually become proficient.
