How should a three-year-old learn English?
Every parent doesn't want their children to lose at the starting line, and there is also the popular English (course) enlightenment. How to teach children English learning correctly has always been a heart disease for every parent, but what good methods are there? \x0d\ 1。 How did children learn before they were three years old? \x0d\ Friends often ask me how to teach my children English. Because of my previous job, most of my friends think I should know English teaching methods. But in fact, although I have been a full-time interpreter and translator before, I don't know the effective ways for children to learn English as a second language. Before my daughter was 2 years old and 8 months old, I used to input some original English picture books, English nursery rhymes or cartoons to her sporadically, but I didn't insist on it every day. \x0d\ How to teach after two or three years old? \ x0d \ After I was three and a half years old, I found it difficult to grasp children's needs and progress through sporadic reading. So, I began to look for excellent graded reading materials. \x0d\ The reason why I insist on inputting some English to my daughter every day since she was 3 years old 10 months is because I think English is an essential tool for all subjects and one of the contents that children must learn. Moreover, experts and practice have proved that learning a second language will not confuse the mother tongue, and 3-6 years old is a sensitive period for learning a language. Children who are good at expressing their mother tongue tend to learn English more easily. "x0d" during the period of practicing for her daughter, she understood the words to be said from the beginning; From understanding some sentences to starting to say some sentences; From following the content to applying it to the same scene in life, the whole process will of course be wrong, with Chinese and English mixed. But what's important is that I see my daughter understand and progress English as a language itself. It makes me feel important. A set of correct and appropriate methods and daily persistence will make learning a language more effective. \x0d\ Don't say if you don't understand; If you can't talk, you won't read; You can't write if you can't read. This is a process of language learning. I am not an English major, and my English foundation is not solid. I made a breakthrough in English later because I watched many original American movies. Many life conversations inside naturally become blurted out language after repeated ringing in the ear. \x0d\ For children who just learn a language, listening more is the basis of mastering the language. Of course, when I say listening, I definitely don't mean listening to words. Words are of course important and are the basic elements of a sentence. However, children's language steps are not reflected in the simple memory of words, but in the understanding of words in the context. Therefore, understanding the words in a sentence and then using them to express the sentence is to master the language, not to memorize it. \x0d\ Watching original English cartoons, listening to mother reading picture books aloud and using network resources can give children a three-dimensional input of language understanding and memory. When children hear the same words and content repeatedly in different materials, they will deepen their understanding of words and sentences in different contexts. \x0d\ III。 What do you insist on doing for a long time? \x0d\ started to insist on \x0d\ 1 after trying some methods for my daughter intermittently. Talk in simple English in life; \x0d\2。 Speak English original picture books (about 15 minutes every day); \x0d\3。 Use English-assisted software (20 minutes a day); \x0d\4。 Persistence is very important, even if you only need 10 minutes to input some to your child every day, it will be effective over time; \x0d\5。 Repetition is important. I often hear some mothers complain that foreign teachers say that "this teacher teaches English too slowly, and all the children have mastered it". Mastering a language is different from mastering subject knowledge. Language learning is bound to be a long period of input, which will bring amazing breakthroughs; \x0d\6。 Method is very important. Learn language as a language, not as a subject content; Finally, it is important for children to persist in English learning, but at this stage, parents' persistence is the most critical and valuable.
