I think it's time for you to have a heated debate with your English teacher about how older babies start learning English.

Some parents think that children need not worry too much about learning English. After all, they only started learning English in grade one or even grade three. It is neither urgent nor cost-effective to let children get in touch with English too early.

Some parents think that they can't learn English from the big class to the first grade because they are worried that their children will confuse English with Chinese Pinyin.

Some parents are more liberal. Babies have been exposed to English since they were born. The baby may have danced some English words or hummed some English children's songs!

We can see that more and more kindergarten and even early childhood children are beginning to embark on the road of English enlightenment.

Then, everyone will ask, from a scientific and academic point of view, when is the most appropriate time for a baby to start English enlightenment?

The answer is: children are born linguists, and English enlightenment can be as early as possible. It is also a very suitable age to start around 3 years old.

Reason 1: Bullokar District is the center of the language learning movement.

Blocker district is the central part of mastering human language expression, and the damage in Blocker district will affect human language expression. Studies show that the bullous area of the left brain develops rapidly before the age of 3, and gradually degenerates after reaching the peak at the age of 3, during which the language it comes into contact with will be absorbed as the mother tongue;

/kloc-After 0/2 years old, most people's Bullokar area will be closed. At this time, when learning a foreign language, the brain can no longer store the foreign language directly in the Bullokar area, but in the memory area, so it is no longer so flexible when using it.

0-3 years old belongs to the mother tongue period. If you are bilingual during this period, you can have two mother tongues. Which is what we call bilingual babies.

3-7 years old can't be called mother tongue, but children at this stage are still geniuses in language learning. After the age of 7, the second language acquisition ability decreases obviously with the increase of age.

Reason 2: Infants and young children have unique advantages in learning English.

Babies are geniuses in learning languages. A study shows that newborn babies can distinguish phonemes of all languages in the world. Isn't it amazing? This ability is beyond the reach of the adult world ~

In addition, infants in infancy have super imitation ability. They are active, talkative, courageous and like to imitate, which is the most important phoneme in learning a language. As children grow older, they are more and more afraid of expressing themselves in public and making mistakes, which is one of the important reasons for adults' "dumb English". At the same time, infants' mother tongue ability is not strong. At this stage, when they come into contact with a second language, they are more receptive and will not be imprisoned and fettered by their mother tongue Chinese. Learning English at this stage is easier to establish "English thinking"!

Moreover, studies have shown that learning a second language before the age of 3 can improve children's creativity, thinking ability and brain flexibility.

Reason 3: Realistically speaking, babies have more time to practice a second foreign language.

There is no doubt that after primary school, even if parents and children realize the importance of English learning, they are unable to do so. Because of the heavy schoolwork after primary school, taking exams as the main goal, I will spend little time on English listening and speaking.

Babies in infancy can have more time to experience English and try to express themselves. They can make more mistakes, they can grow from their mistakes, and they can have more time to practice and use.

It is undoubtedly the sooner the better to start the baby's English enlightenment! Babies in infancy must learn English in a very different way from children in primary school.
