What is the best stage for children to learn English?
The mainstream view is that the best time for a baby to learn English is between 3 years old and 12 years old. In fact, more and more brain science research shows that the period from 3 years old to 12 years old is really effective for the development of infants' language ability, but it is not as critical as imagined. Just like traveling by plane, you can get to your destination quickly, but if you miss the plane, you can take the high-speed train a little slower, but it won't have much impact on your destination. Language is a tool, and it is a long-term accumulation process to care about the usage scene, usage time and usage depth.

Let's throw cold water on it. The above situation is for the sake of icing on the cake for children. Naturally, the earlier bilingual or multilingual environment is provided, the better. Look at the Trump family's little guys who have been on fire since last year. They have been exposed to English and Chinese since childhood, and they can master both languages skillfully, but that's because they have this family strength and environment. For most families in China, you can refer to the following suggestions.

For parents whose English level is not bad, they can accompany their children to have English conversations, read English picture books, and tell English stories before going to bed. This can also provide them with a good English language environment and interest direction. Cultivate children's English language sense and thinking from an early age.

For most families in China, parents don't know English and don't use English in family life. If the baby's living environment does not have the necessary environment to use English, you don't have to be too eager to let the baby learn English. By listening to English songs and watching English cartoons with coherent plots and interesting stories, children's interest can be aroused and an interest base can be established for future English learning and application.

Conditional parents can also find English interest classes near home, so that children can experience the input, play and output environment of the whole English environment on a regular basis.
