First, let children watch English original cartoons from an early age.
There is a domestic aunt who can't speak English, but after listening to the advice of her former college English professor, she played the original English cartoons for her children since she was a child. Note that there is no Chinese translation subtitle. For a long time, both her children have a very good sense of English language.
Most children don't like watching English cartoons because they have been watching Chinese cartoons since childhood, and suddenly they will be resistant to watching English cartoons.
If you are not at home at ordinary times, you can chat with your aunt or the elderly at home. If you want to play cartoons, you can play the original English version for your children.
Second, master natural spelling before primary school.
Education experts have done research before. Students who have been exposed to natural spelling since childhood are two years faster in spelling and read English articles much faster than those who have not accepted natural spelling.
Because 80% of English words conform to the law of natural spelling, it is beneficial for children to learn natural spelling from an early age, and to be agile in English thinking and more active in the process of learning English.
Third, let children sing more English songs.
In the process of enlightening their children in English, many parents are most anxious that what they do is ineffective and they can't hear their children export English.
Old people at home will also question whether it is really useful to instill English in children from an early age. Can children understand? Indeed, if parents can't see the results, they will inevitably start to waver. I will start to think: why not give children English enlightenment in the future?
In fact, the most important thing of enlightenment is to provide children with an English environment. The effect is naturally slow, and it will be obvious when the children are mature. At this stage, letting children sing more English songs is the best way to output. English nursery rhymes are generally simple in melody, and the words in them are also the most basic. As long as children can sing English songs fluently in the enlightenment stage, it is good feedback.
Fourth, don't let children memorize words by rote.
Bian Xiao's biggest objection to English enlightenment is forcing children to recite words. Memorizing words is a very inefficient thing in the enlightenment stage.
Many students who have memorized words since childhood can recite words, but they don't know how to use them.
In fact, in the enlightenment stage, you only need to read a lot of comics and picture books, and basically you can master some commonly used words. It's no use memorizing too many words.
Fifth, you can translate for children appropriately.
When children are very young, parents always worry that they can't understand the English materials prepared for their children, so they translate them into Chinese sentence by sentence. In fact, as long as parents choose English materials suitable for children's difficulty, children can fully understand. You can basically understand the plot of the comic book.
Many enlightenment picture books, children can roughly understand the meaning by looking at the picture, so don't worry that children can't understand it at all. If there are some incomprehensible parts, parents can also tell their children the meaning of the book in the form of their own performances.
If the child has input too much Chinese in his early years, it is impossible not to translate it for him, then translate it for the child appropriately, as long as he can understand the picture book. Otherwise, children will reject reading because they can't understand the contents of the book.
To sum up: provide English environment for children in daily life and pay attention to cultivating children's English thinking. If you don't have much time, you can recommend your children to enroll in the enlightenment class and study at home. The price is only about 15-35 yuan, and the free audition course is here: one-on-one enlightenment course for foreign teachers in 0 yuan and Europe and America.
