Learning a foreign language is not just a tribute to fashion, but the process of acquiring knowledge, which is vital in modern society, which is developing towards universal globalization. That is why many parents strive to educate their child as a polyglot.
The learning process should start when the child is 2-3 years old. It is good if you yourself know the language and can teach it to your child. And if not, then it is worth hiring a nanny who would speak to the child exclusively in a foreign language. In the process of communication, the child will easily and naturally speak a foreign language, perceiving it as a vital necessity. Also, an alternative can be special linguistic centers for the youngest students. In them, children are taught in a playful way. It is necessary that the teacher is a true native speaker who has professional training and knows how to find an approach to such young students. Thanks to games and live communication, the child will quickly join the learning process. Please note that there are no more than five kids in the linguistic group. For successful language learning, classes in such linguistic centers must be held at least three times a week.
Parents can start teaching their child on their own. To do this, you must know the language at least at the level of the school curriculum and have the correct pronunciation. A kid at the age of 2-3 years is very inquisitive and inquisitive, he is interested in new games and fun, which means that it will be interesting for the child to sing songs with you, study simple poems, and act out theatrical scenes. The kid will better remember a foreign language if he hears it at least occasionally. You can include children's cartoons alternately in different languages (native and foreign), so that the child can compare them with each other. It is important to include elements of the game in the learning process. Nowadays there are a lot of computer programs for young polyglots.
It is good practice to surround your toddler with visual information: draw a poster, purchase word blocks, cut out colorful large letters. Singing songs together, reading fairy tales with foreign explanations, mentioning foreign words or names while playing - there are a great many options for learning a second language. But don't overdo it. Otherwise, the child will quickly get bored and he will not want to learn anything.
It is appropriate to introduce the second foreign language in 1, 5-2 years. Previously, this should not be done, since the child may get confused about what he has already learned. It is important to gradually immerse children in this still completely unfamiliar environment.
If a child refuses to learn a foreign language, do not impose it on him. After a couple of weeks, try offering your baby a different teaching method.
