However, Catherine, a 5-year-old girl on the Internet, has become an online English teacher, shooting many English teaching videos, and her fluent English is enviable.
Although Catherine is only five years old, her vocabulary has reached more than three thousand. You know, the standard vocabulary of junior high school students is only about 1500. Her vocabulary really far exceeds that of junior high school students, so I have to admire her. Her lessons are clear and easy to understand, which is very suitable for children to learn. It suddenly rose to more than 200 thousand, and she looked like a little red girl in early education.

As a result, her father explained that the child went to an ordinary kindergarten and never went abroad. He is a native of Xi, and there is no legendary foreign teacher.
So how is such a child with good English and good expressive ability trained? Catherine's father shared his parenting experience online.

Catherine's father liked to play English children's songs at home when she was very young, especially some catchy and easy-to-recite songs to cultivate children's sense of language. When a child is two or three years old, it is a language sensitive period. Listening to such children's songs every day, they soon learned many songs, not only fluently memorizing them, but also humming them themselves.

Just reciting is not enough. Catherine's parents will also take the initiative to explain the meaning of English nursery rhymes to their children and explain the meaning of each word. Over time, children will learn a lot, and when they encounter words that they can't, they will take the initiative to ask, and their enthusiasm for learning English is very high.
