Many parents want their children to be fluent in English. This requires first finding ways to motivate the child to learn and make the process fun.
Arouse interest
Pay attention to the child that many of the characters in his favorite cartoons speak English. The child watches already translated cartoons, but there are also new episodes that have not yet been voiced into Russian. Speaking English, you can watch cartoons in the original and understand their content well.
Also explain that people all over the world speak different languages but can communicate with each other in English because it is considered an international language behind the scenes. Knowing English will come in handy when traveling to different countries and will help you make many new friends.
Choose your motivation system for learning. A simple explanation that English will be useful in the future for a child will clearly not be enough. Start playing with your child in his favorite games, partly using English vocabulary. Promise your child to give a gift or a prize at some stage in the course.
Regularity and personal example
Despite the fact that a child can and at times show an interest in the English language, nevertheless, he will not express a desire and insist on learning. It is necessary to instill a love of learning a language, making the learning process permanent. At the same time, you should not put pressure on the child and overload him with large amounts of information. It is better to do a little daily and do it in a positive way, when the child is in a good mood.
Start learning English with your child. Watch cartoons and use all the familiar words in your daily life. You can ask for bread or cutlery in English at dinner. Also use familiar vocabulary when describing what is prepared for dinner.
Gradually make English a part of your daily communication. You can say hello, wish you a pleasant sleep in English, and also ask them to bring water, throw out the trash, or clean up toys. What is most often repeated in the family should be actively used for learning.
Different approaches and gameplay
It is necessary to provide the child with a variety of teaching methods and alternate watching cartoons with educational computer games, reading English books. Sometimes you can play in the background English children's songs and hum them while walking or cooking dinner.
It is imperative to introduce a playful moment into the learning process. The child gets to know the world around him best while playing. You can draw cards with the learned words together with your child and train your memory. Review the words and phrases you have learned, and then hide one or two cards and invite your child to remember which drawings are missing. Call him a special agent, on whose intelligence the fate of the state depends. Do not forget to praise and cheer him up for even minor learning successes.
At the same time, do not get annoyed and do not pay attention when something does not work out. If at the initial stage the child shows interest only in watching English cartoons, and reading fairy tales and textbooks cause protest, do not rush to overload him and insist on everything at once. Look for your individual approach to the child, and do more of what he likes.
