Xiao Rui: 2 years, 3 months and 4 days baby
Rui Dad: One Master of English
Less than 4 days after the last centipede-induced massacre, I experienced another mole-induced tragedy.
This time, I took Xiao Rui for a walk outdoors and first saw a rabbit. As shown in the following figure:
I asked Rui, "What's this?"
Xiao Rui was very happy. I asked Rui, "What's this?"
Rui replied, "Rabbit."
Then Rui walked up to touch the rabbit. While touching the rabbit, Xiao Rui spoke some English such as "hat", "foot"; at the same time, he also spoke some Chinese "hands, mouth". Of course, when Rui said "hand", I said "hand, hand, hand" several times; when Rui said "mouth", I said "mouth, mouth, mouth."
When Xiao Rui touched the basket in the rabbit's hand, he asked, "What's here?" ”
I replied, "This is a basket." and I repeated it several times: "This is a basket." “This is a basket.”
Next, on the other side, I saw two other animals, as shown in the following figure:
Two moles triggered a tragedy in which the English teaching site rolled over
Xiao Rui walked over and touched the big mole, and asked in a milky voice, "What is this?" ”
I was dumbfounded at first glance. mole? This word is not in my vocabulary. (IELTS reading a single item 8.5 points, the number of English words should be no less than 10,000) No way, but do not want to let Xiaorui wait too long. He replied, "This is a mole." ”
Xiao Rui immediately repeated softly: "Mole."
At the same time, I immediately took out my mobile phone to check the English of the mole and found that it was "mole."
I immediately pointed to the mole and repeated "mole, mole, mole..."
As I wrote this, I suddenly thought of the arbitrariness of saussure's tone symbols that I had learned during graduate school. This means that at the beginning, the mole can be used to refer to the animal in the picture above, and at the beginning, it can also be used to refer to the animal in any noun of cat, dog, or pig. But once the language confirms that the mole refers to the animal in the picture above, it cannot be changed.
By extension, as a native Chinese, the connection between the mole and the picture may be invisibly remembered. However, since there is no native English-speaking environment, the mole and the picture are always not connected.
So when Rui asked what it was, I could only look up the dictionary to find the corresponding English. If you want your baby to learn English, the best path is not to speak English directly so that your baby can connect with animals in English? At least when facing dinosaur toys, Xiao Rui blurted out dinosaur. Maybe mole really doesn't meet a lot of frequency in our lives. But that's not an excuse for Rui Dad not knowing mole.
To summarize:
1. If Rui Dad does not want to encounter the teaching site overturn again, then it is necessary to strengthen the learning of Chinese and English at all times.
2. Rui Dad teaches Xiao Rui English, although he is only facing a 2-year-old baby, but the requirements for Rui Dad's word volume are not 3500, not 4500, not 5500, not 8000, not 15000, but infinity!
3. Have the opportunity to take Xiaorui to a native English-speaking country to spend some time and communicate with native English speakers.
