For 0-3-year-old babies, language learning is often stimulated by "sound", and "listening" is the beginning of the baby's rapid absorption of language. How to prepare an English listening environment for your baby? Besides playing some CDs of English textbooks, it is also a good way to get started by playing relaxing English songs for children. In addition, 2-3-year-old babies are in a "language explosion period" and have strong language imitation ability. Playing CD can make the baby imitate the standard pronunciation as soon as possible and lay a good foundation for future study.

Babies like watching cartoons, and parents can choose some cartoons that babies like to play repeatedly. Lively animation, cute characters and attractive plots make the baby naturally enter the virtual situation, get familiar with English expressions, learn to use sentence patterns and enhance his listening and speaking ability. But mom and dad must step by step according to the baby's situation.

Step 3 play more

"Play" is the time when the baby is most focused and has the strongest learning ability. By playing games, we can reduce the pressure of learning and let children learn English happily inadvertently. Therefore, parents can design some small games, recognize things in English, or choose some inspiring, interactive and interesting books. In addition, you can also use multimedia interaction to stimulate your baby's interest in learning English through the combination of animation, images, sounds and words.

4. Speak more

For infants, it is very important to have a certain context, and it is very important for someone to communicate with him in this language. Patricia Kuhl, a professor of language and auditory science at the University of Washington, tested two groups of 9-month-old American babies. The first group stayed with Chinese-speaking adults, played with toys and chatted. After 12 times, this group of babies learned to recognize Chinese pronunciation. Another group of babies used video tapes to play Chinese lessons instead of adults, and the babies learned nothing. This experiment tells us that the baby's ability to learn a foreign language is extraordinary, but without emotional contact, the learning effect is not obvious. Therefore, it is very important for babies to communicate with their parents in English in daily life.

5, parent-child reading * * *

For older babies, mothers can read English stories with their babies. Nowadays, many picture books are bilingual. Mom can tell her baby in Chinese first, and then in English, so that her baby can enjoy reading in different languages. In addition, the companionship and encouragement of parents can also give the baby greater motivation to learn and enhance the feelings between parents and children.
