“My name is Sophia, I’m 15 years old. I have been studying at the YES center for more than six months and I feel noticeable progress in English! The teaching methodology is aimed primarily at speaking practice. It became easy to perceive English by ear and conduct basic conversations. No cramming and huge homework, like in a regular school. However, progress is obvious. Thanks to the YES school"

“I hereby express my deep gratitude to the “YES”-Khovrino center for the quality education of my daughter Ekaterina. The progress after your classes is obvious.

“We are studying at the Foreign Languages Center for the first year. We like. We go to 2 foreign languages and see noticeable progress in learning English and Chinese. The teachers were chosen very well in my opinion. My son enjoys going to school. There is a warm and friendly atmosphere here. In general, both parents and child are satisfied. Thank you!"
Khovrino
“When choosing English language courses, I chose the YES foreign language school for many reasons. Firstly, the groups here are small, so attention is paid to each student. Secondly, new, good textbooks from well-known foreign publishers. Almost every lesson we watch a video with native speakers speaking; the topics of the lessons are interesting - there is something to discuss, unlike topics in school classes. By the way, it was thanks to the courses that I began to be able to express my thoughts in English, and I understand speech quite well by ear. The YES school often hosts various events and organizes trips. I recently attended an open Japanese language class and am planning to enroll in this course as well.”

The summer intensive course took place in Solntsevo. Liked. Special thanks to teacher Daria, she helped me overcome my uncertainty in English pronunciation. Let's hope for continued training.

I’ve been studying in YES center for 2 years and during these 2 years I’ve learned English from B1 level to B2 + level. Almost C1 level. I really like the lessons. I’ve met a lot of teachers here and all of them were really kind. And I really understand the explanations, that’s why I understand practically everything during our lesson. By the way our lessons are interesting, we not only study. We also play different games to practice vocabulary, grammar and just to practice our speaking. By the way, we also speak a lot during the lesson. That’s why we not only drill vocabulary and grammar and also make our listening and other skills.
Subway Kuzminki
Well, I’ve been studying in YES for 2 years and I think my life changed when I have met so good people who I communicate with. I regard our teacher Kate who is one of the most caring and understanding teachers I have ever met. She really explains the material in a good way what’s why I like her way of teaching. Also I am happy that I’ve met so many friends here. We communicate and spend a lot of time together. YES center helped me to improve my skills, my knowledge and my abilities in general. That's why I'm really thankful.
Subway Kuzminki
I have been studying at YES since the school opened. I can say that these are very effective classes and additional courses. I learned a lot in a very short period of time. I also achieved great success in school. I can say about the teacher that we have a very beautiful and responsive teacher, kind, she always meets halfway. She is not too strict, but not too soft either. My classmates are cool and cheerful, I can communicate well with everyone.
Khovrino
I would like to note that I chose training courses taking into account proximity to home, and I live in the Khovrino area. Before the start of classes, the administrators offered me to take free written and oral tests to determine my level of English language proficiency. As a result, I was very lucky to study English in a friendly group with a talented, responsive and charming teacher, Ekaterina! Classes in Ekaterina’s group are optimally balanced for the student: listening to the teacher, communication with the teacher and with students in the group, and the student’s speaking itself are as controlled as possible. This allows us to gain comprehensive language skills. In teaching, we use a communicative methodology, the main goal of which is to teach how to use language in real life from the first lesson. In group classes, Ekaterina unites us into small subgroups or pairs, giving us collective tasks.
Khovrino
I started learning English when I realized that I couldn’t live without it. For work I have to travel a lot to different countries and of course it is very convenient to have a translator next to you. What happens when he's not there? This is how serious motivation arose in mastering the language. At first I started teaching him on my own, and then I realized that in this matter I needed a system and a good teacher. I think I'm lucky. Somehow I got to an open lesson at the yes center... Having completed the first level of elementary, I feel confident in communicating with foreigners. And from my own experience I realized that a foreign language opens up new opportunities! The main thing is not to be lazy and not miss classes.
Khovrino
At the YES center I learn three languages: English, Spanish and Chinese. Why three at once? Because foreign languages are good for me! I especially like the Spanish language because it is very beautiful. The most difficult language is Chinese, and especially writing hieroglyphs. I haven't decided yet what I will become in the future. Possibly a diplomat.
Khovrino
Most of all I like our teacher, Ekaterina Nemtsova. She explains well, is kind and sympathetic. I like people who sit at the reception; if anything happens, they will tell me. I like the design of the school. Before class I like to drink hot chocolate. I have friends here. I need English to travel to international dance competitions and to succeed at school. In general, I like learning English.

I, Dmitry, am a design engineer at a small Moscow company. One of my tasks was to organize a design department in China. There I needed spoken English and I ended up at YES. Having chosen from quite a few schools in my area, only here I was offered a summer group for beginners. And already the third level I remain a faithful student of this school. What is important to me, and here it is fully present, is a clear, proven, consistent training system. Slowly, step by step, topic by topic, the material is worked out and added. Based on the characteristics of the group and its wishes, the teacher and methodologist focus on the tasks that cause us the most difficulty. Thank you to our teachers for their sincere desire to teach, for their diligence and patience.
Solntsevo
My first acquaintance with the YES Foreign Language Center began after I got a job. There is an urgent need to learn English. My level of English was zero, so I was very worried about how I would keep up with the group, how the learning process would go, and so on. But as it turned out, I was worried in vain. All staff and teachers turned out to be very responsive, always ready to help. I especially want to say a huge thank you to the teacher, Evgenia Popova. Studying at the Elementary level, I can already explain myself and conduct a dialogue with foreigners (native speakers), read books, and understand what is sung in the songs of foreign performers. The result of the training met all my expectations. Thank you to YES school for existing.
Subway Kuzminki
I would like to thank Evgenia, an English language teacher for little ones, for her professionalism and individual approach to each child. Ilyusha attends classes with great pleasure and interest, which are held in an easy, playful manner. This makes it easy to remember new material. I would also like to say a special thank you to the administrator Yulia, who will always greet you kindly, listen and answer all your questions.
At three years old, little fidgets learn about the world around them with genuine interest. And the more interesting things there are in this world, the better. Likewise, English for 3-year-old children will be an exciting adventure. Young “researchers” are keenly interested in the new and unknown, and the unique possibilities of natural knowledge of things will help them perceive a foreign language literally on a subconscious level. In today's article we will tell you how to properly conduct English language training sessions with children three or four years old.
Every parent who worries about the future of their child asks a similar question. Heated discussions and differences of opinion are also common among teachers: some advocate learning English “from the cradle,” while others believe that it is more rational to get acquainted with a foreign language before entering school.
Without going into the details of this controversy, we will highlight its core. The root of the problem lies in excessive workload and “depriving children of their childhood.” But the secret of success is precisely that English lessons for preschool children are conducted exclusively in a playful way. The method of teaching English for little ones is not memorization, but an exciting game that fits organically into children's fun.
You can start learning English with a one-year-old baby, with a 2-year-old child, and with children aged 3 years and older. The main thing is to develop in students a sincere interest in learning English. Young children are open and very inquisitive on their own, so it’s not difficult to get them interested in a new activity. Moreover, the natural needs of cognition involve as much as possible all the capabilities of the brain. This gives children aged 2 to 4 years the following benefits:
- easy perception of new information;
- quick memorization;
- natural imitation of foreign pronunciation;
- lack of fear of speaking.
Learning foreign languages in adulthood will no longer be accompanied by these favorable factors. That's why it's worth striking while the iron is hot. However, in order for English lessons for children 3-4 years old to be truly successful, several nuances of child psychology should be taken into account before starting them.
How to explain English to 3-year-old children - practical recommendations
So, you have decided to teach your child to speak English, but you don’t yet know where to start with the first lessons. It’s easy to start teaching children, the main thing is to remember the secret already said - no coercion, only play!
Instilling interest
Children aged 1 year and older actively explore the world, being interested in every unknown part of it. The parent’s task in this case is to pick up this natural interest and develop it into an exciting game “activity”. While playing with toys with your child, tell him about the English language using the names of these objects as an example. But do not immediately demand mandatory memorization and repetition: if the child is interested, then later he himself will demonstrate the acquired knowledge.
Use any everyday situations to teach English. What do three-year-olds do most often? They ask questions. Answer them by adding English words to the sentences and explaining their meanings visually, i.e. showing objects. A child learns about the world through his eyes and sensations, so you should not make long verbal explanations, which will quickly bore and confuse the baby.
Let's not get bored
The main principle by which English is taught to children from 3 years old is no violence. Your classes should not be even remotely similar to school lessons. No “sit down and learn.” We play English with children, and we play not at any specific time of the day, but in any suitable situation.
For example, invite your child to learn colors in English during a walk. Let the little one joyfully shout Green at all objects containing the color green! Or you can compete with your child to see who can find the most green objects around. The reward for the game will again be a green delicacy: an apple, a pear, and a sweet watermelon is also suitable for the summer.
Such simple games provide excitement and positive emotions, develop a thirst for new knowledge and make it easy to learn and remember new vocabulary.
We encourage success
Praise and kind words are pleasant even for serious adults, let alone affection-sensitive children who are only 3 or 4 years old.
Notice even small improvements in your baby’s knowledge. React to every correctly spoken phrase, inspiring and motivating your child to use English words more often in his speech and build whole sentences from them.
Expressing praise should not be dry and formal. Show more emotions, hug, kiss, spin, throw the baby, etc. Kids acutely sense falsehood, so the expression of delight must be sincere. In addition to Russian praises, it’s a good idea to actively use English vocabulary. We suggest using the expressions from the table below.
Lead by example
Often parents want to give their child something they didn’t have, or teach them something they themselves couldn’t learn at one time. If this is the situation you have with regard to English, then get ready to start by changing your knowledge first.
If we teach a child a foreign language, then we ourselves must know it sufficiently. To do this, you need to allocate time and effort: sign up for a course, take online lessons, or independently study materials for classes with your child. Not everyone is ready to take such a step, but remember that the education of your children depends on you. If you yourself do not develop and take an interest in English, then your child, looking at the example of his parents, will consider learning foreign languages a boring and unnecessary matter.
We have listed the basic principles according to which English is taught to preschool children. Now, taking into account these recommendations, we will select ways to present the material.
Training methods
For modern education, instilling in a child an interest in learning is a priority. Therefore, many teaching methods and methods have been developed for both children who are only one year old and for children over three years old. The parent’s task is to try different teaching methods and track the baby’s reaction to them.
Cards
Card sets provide an opportunity to master thematic vocabulary with your child. Small cards are easy to use, and colorful drawings make them not only attractive and interesting, but also easy to understand for children. In addition, with cards you can come up with a lot of fun activities that allow you to check how much your child has learned the information.
The principle of teaching with the help of cards is simple: the parent shows the card and says the word, and the child looks at the picture and repeats what was said. It is important to note that translation is not taught! With the help of a drawing, the child independently understands the meaning of the word and puts it in his memory. To check what you have learned, use mini-games: guess the card by description, name the odd one in a row, find the missing one, etc.
For children under 3 years old, you can buy or make large cards yourself, so that the child can stand on them. A path is made from such cards and the child is led along it, naming a new card with each step. After the child remembers the vocabulary, the track is, on the contrary, divided into separate “islands”. Now the parent calls out the word, and the baby’s task is to quickly jump onto the correct card.
Poems and songs
Another universal method that is suitable for children of any age. For one-year-old babies, their mother will carefully sing songs, and by the age of two, children are able to independently memorize the simplest lines.
Well, the English language for children 4 and 5 years old is inextricably linked with learning poems and songs by heart, because This method helps to expand your vocabulary and improve pronunciation. Also, an undoubted advantage of rhyming lines is that entire phrases and contexts are studied, rather than individual words.
It is important to note how to teach poetry in English with children. This should be done in stages.
- Preliminarily select the words that are key to understanding the poem and teach them to your child.
- Read the verse expressively, helping the child navigate the pronunciation of the lines.
- Look at the pictures for the poem or draw your own drawings with your child that reveal the content of the poem.
- Learning lines by heart.
- Periodic repetition of what has been learned.
Naturally, such a volume of work is not completed in one day. Several lessons are spent on one poem.
As for the songs, everything is much simpler here. The main thing is that the child likes the music, and the motive and words of the song will become attached by themselves. Today on the Internet you can find hundreds of educational songs for children, with which kids can quickly and funly learn popular English words and expressions on various topics.
Fairy tales
Learning a language through fairy tales also brings benefits. Of course, if the little one is just entering his second year, then it will be difficult for him to perceive a large amount of information. But children over 3 years old are already able to work in this form.
For classes, it is necessary to select either very short stories or foreign translations of Russian fairy tales already familiar to children. Working with a foreign version of a Russian fairy tale, children learn to compare the English names of the characters, their words and actions with the Russian analogues that have settled in children's memory. It is important that the fairy tale is accompanied by interesting illustrations, then the child will better understand the text or simply be able to take a little break from working with words.
Don't forget about the possibility of using audio versions of fairy tales. By the age of three, a child can listen carefully and subconsciously remember the information he hears.
There are several fairy tales on our website that you can listen to and watch:
If you first work with the text, and then start listening to the characters’ remarks in audio, then the child will probably be able to name the speaking character and understand his speech a little. Thus, children develop listening comprehension. In addition, repeating the characters' lines improves pronunciation and helps to replenish the active vocabulary.
Videos
In the digital age, it is no longer possible to imagine teaching English to preschoolers without the use of videos. Colorful animation instantly attracts the attention of both kids and adults. Even the songs we have already reviewed are learned much faster if they are supplemented with a fascinating video that clearly shows the meaning of the words.
It is with simple songs that you should start learning English from videos. Here are all the factors that contribute to successful learning:
- visual presentation of material;
- work on auditory perception;
- imitating correct pronunciation;
- entertainment part (you can jump, do exercises, dance, play to the music).
In addition, songs for children in English tend to “sink” into memory even against one’s will, which contributes to the subconscious memorization of words and expressions.
After practicing with songs, start working with educational cartoons and fairy tales. Children will love following the new adventures of their favorite characters, which means that English classes will definitely become welcome and long-awaited.
Games
And although English for children 3 or 4 years old is always a form of play, we will highlight the description of games as a separate paragraph.
In fact, learning a foreign language can be combined with any game. If your baby is fidgety, then we recommend playing edible-inedible in English, hide and seek (with English counting), counting tables in English, card islands, or simply naming objects encountered on a walk.
Calm and measured kids should buy cards and board games in English. Intelligent kids will enjoy activities such as guessing games, bingo, letter rearrangement and word spelling.
Separately, we note computer and mobile applications. Educational computer games are carefully thought out: they have a colorful design, clear voice acting, accessible explanations, and automated knowledge testing. In addition, most games contain a cross-cutting plot, which further motivates children to learn English and complete tasks.
The capabilities of mobile applications are more modest. With them, the child can learn and repeat new words by listening to their pronunciation and comparing them with pictures. Some programs contain additional mini-games and videos, but these must be paid for separately.
In any case, when working with interactive digital applications, the parent must be close to the child and help him complete the tasks. If you simply give your child a laptop or smartphone and leave him to play alone, then you will not achieve effective learning results. Remember that the child follows the example of his parents, and it is you who develop a responsible attitude towards learning English.
So, let's summarize all of the above, highlighting the strong points.
- It is possible, and even necessary, to teach children foreign languages from an early age if you do not want to miss the chance given by nature to quickly and naturally master new information.
- Classes are always conducted in a playful way. Only the child’s interest and passion give effective results and achievement of success.
- All nuances of child psychology are taken into account. Children should be encouraged more often, not focus too much on mistakes, and increase motivation to practice by example.
- Parents choose the teaching method on their own, but if necessary, adjust it, monitoring the baby’s reaction and the success of the task.
- Lessons are not fixed in time. The duration of the lesson depends on the mood and abilities of the baby.
By following these tips, you will competently structure the educational process and instill in your child an interest in foreign languages, without in any way infringing on his rights to a happy and carefree childhood. Good luck in your endeavors and see you again!

If you start talking to your child in English before the age of 3, then the question of the “content” of the first English experience disappears by itself. You just start talking to your child in English, show an English cartoon or read a book in English. English for children- and draw the child into playing.
However, after 3 years, when the native speech is already so strong that the child is no longer so amenable to such journeys to uncharted shores of speech and a clear need already appears: “Mom, I want it to be clear what you are saying,” the question arises: how to introduce a child to English so that it is as interesting, understandable and accessible as possible.
Geography and English for children over 3 years old
You can start by showing your child a globe or map and telling them that blue represents water and other colors represent earth. There are different countries on Earth. You can ride trains and fly airplanes in them. Find Russia, mark your hometown with a dot, and then suggest travel to other countries.
The only problem is that they don’t speak Russian in these countries. Here you and I speak Russian. What it is? It is a table. What is it? This is a book. And when we fly to another country, they don’t know such words, they will call everything differently. Each country has its own language. In Spain - Spanish, in France - French, in Japan - Japanese, etc.
In many, many countries people speak English. In English they say:
- in Great Britain (this country is also called England)
- in America (USA)
- In Canada
- in Australia
- in New Zealand
And in other countries people know this language well. Would you like to learn to speak English? Let's try to learn a few words today.
To do this, let's go to the birthplace of the English language - Great Britain. But she is very, very far from us. It takes several hours to get there by plane. What do we do? Which transport is the fastest in the world? Even faster than a plane? Rocket! Let's fly on a magic rocket, and in order for it to take us to England, we will control it in English!
Get into the rocket - to do this, fold your hands over your head.
Put on your helmet (Put on the helmet) - with our hands we depict how we put the helmet on our head.
Buckle up! (Buckle up) – fasten the “invisible” belts.
Five, four, three, two, one, blast off! – 5,4,3,2,1, start!
We lift the child, circle in the air and land in England(well, for example, on the sofa).
Speak English words loudly and clearly, but the translation is barely audible. You will then repeat this game many more times, and it is worthwhile to accompany it with translation one or two first times, then the need for translation disappears.
English for children in the UK
In England, a child meets his first English friend. Think, maybe an English character already lives among your toys. It could be:
- Winnie the Pooh
- Alice doll (who is in Wonderland)
- Peppa Pig
- kittens who lost their gloves
- Humpty-Dumpty (Humpty Dumpty)…
English children's literature and animation leave room for your creativity here.
I will focus on a children's nursery rhyme, known from Marshak's translation.
-Where were you today, pussy?
- The Queen of England.
- What did you see at court?
— I saw a mouse on the carpet.
Pussy-cat, pussy-cat,
Where have you been?
I've been to London
To look at the Queen.
Pussy-cat, pussy-cat,
What did you do there?
I frightened a little mouse
Under her chair.
We take a cat toy and get to know it in English.
-What's your name?
— My name is Pussy Cat! What's your name?
- I'm Masha.
— Nice to meet you, Masha! Let's play.
Again, during the first acquaintance, we translate each phrase, encourage the child to repeat the words Hello after you, introduce himself in English I’m..., agree with the offer to play ok. Help your child with gestures. When you say Hello, we wave our hand in greeting, I’m - Point to ourselves. We show the ok sign (this gesture is difficult to give, but that’s why it’s interesting).
We show a cartoon based on a nursery rhyme:
Draw your child's attention to the cartoon characters cat, mouse, and the Queen. Depict them using gestures. Cat - show your scratchy nails and make sharp scratching movements in front of you. Mouse - place your fists on your head, showing the mouse ears. Draw the queen by showing the crown with your hand.
Now listen to the song again, asking the child to be attentive, and when he hears cat, show the cat, when mouse, show the mouse, etc. Help your child as much as possible with your example, so that it is easy for him!
Now it's time to play cat and mouse.
The mouse catches the cat. We change roles. Encourage your child to repeat the rhyme with you. We accompany the rhyming with already familiar gestures. We repeat until we get tired of it.
It's time to play Queen.
Ask what the queen wears on her head. Crown. To learn to walk with a crown on their head, kings and queens first wear books on their heads. Let's practice.
It's time to say goodbye to Pussy Cat.
We say Good bye! And again we fly on a rocket.
If the child is already quite tired, then you can return back to Russia (then play the game in Russian), and continue your journey tomorrow.
English for children in America
Now we're flying to the United States of America or to America. There we can meet:
- Mickey Mouse
- Spiderman
- other characters from American cartoons
Most likely, you have such toys, right? Meet an American friend.
In America they build very tall buildings called skyscrapers or skyscrapers.
Take ordinary cubes and build a very tall skyscraper from them. You can interest a child by offering to build a skyscraper as tall as him.
You can make the task more difficult if you draw a model of a skyscraper from colored blocks, the sequence of which the child needs to repeat, and the colors are called in English. Blue, green, yellow, red etc.
They built a skyscraper, said goodbye to the character and flew on a rocket to Canada.
English for children in Canada
In Canada we will get acquainted with the maple leaf. It’s great if you can buy maple syrup in stores in your city and treat yourself to it during class.
A breeze blew and a maple leaf fell on the child’s nose, landed on his hand, knee, etc. Name the parts of the body in English and show them on yourself, and the child should touch the corresponding part of the body with a piece of paper.
The maple leaf fell down on the nose.
The wind is blowing. (blow)
The leaf is flying (spinning)
And the maple leaf fell down on the arm.
Then the piece of paper tells you how they like to play hockey in Canada.
Think about what you can use instead of a putter in your home. A badminton racket and a ball will do, for example, show your child how to dribble a ball with a racket and try to score a goal into a chair goal.
Please note that the English word Hockey is similar to the Russian word hockey. Ask your child to guess how to translate the English sports football, basketball, baseball, hockey, volleyball, badminton, tennis. Show how to pantomime each of these sports, then name it, and the child must show how to play it.
We say goodbye to our Canadian friend and set off on a rocket to Australia.
English for children in Australia
In Australia we meet kangaroos. You can print out pictures if you don’t have such toys.
With kangaroos we learn to jump. When you say jump, the child jumps. When you say stop, the child must stop. Jump, jump, stop. Jump, jump, jump, stop. Stop, jump etc.
And finally, it was time to take the rocket home. We say goodbye to the kangaroo and fly to Russia.
Additionally, you can prepare pictures in advance depicting the flags of countries and, upon arrival in the country, look at them and repeat the colors of the flags - red, white, blue.
Today I want to tell you about how to teach English to your young children, starting from 3 years old. You may be surprised and even outraged:
- How?! To deprive your own child of childhood and the opportunity to play once again from such a young age?
- Yes, such a little thing is simply incapable of taking up another language so early, because she still doesn’t know her native one well!
We teach children English from 3 years old
Help your child
And this is what I will tell you, dear adults:
You are too cruel to your own children! Ask why?
- As adults, transfer your inertia and laziness to your baby: try to teach you something now, when it’s more pleasant for you to look at the “box,” eat deliciously, sleep, drink beer, and gossip. Unlike you, your child is inquisitive, he doesn’t like to eat and sleep, he loves to learn!
- You deprive a child of the opportunities that nature gave him: it is from 3 to 5 years old that children have the most tenacious memory, and he learns more information during this period than later in his entire life.
Three-year-olds are very inquisitive. It just seems to you that the kid, busy fiddling around in the sandbox, doesn’t hear anything. One fine day, like a parrot, he suddenly gives away the entire stock of necessary and unnecessary words, which he absorbed like a sponge during games and other serious childhood activities.
Children's language abilities
This property of children - to remember while playing and, it would seem, without hearing anyone, must be used. You need to turn your first English lessons into the same game:
- the child is simply interested in playing with you, he does not know that you are teaching him;
- focused on the game itself, he will casually remember all the English phrases spoken to him.
Start learning with the names of everything that surrounds your baby at 3 years old:
- household items - toy, plate, table, apple, etc.;
- body parts - hand, nose, mouth, head, eyes;
- what he sees on the street - a car (car), a cat (cat), a bird (bird), the sun (sun).
Learn not just words, but immediately make simple phrases from them:
- Give me a cup, please - Give me a cup, please
- Would you like an apple? — Do you want an apple?
- Let's go for a walk! - Go for a walk!
Most parents are of the opinion that children should be taught foreign languages only when they start school. In addition, the learning process is equated to work, so it is customary to relax during the holidays.
But you can look at teaching children under 3 years of age a little differently - it is interesting and useful for children to learn new things in any environment and without traditional days off. Simple English for children without exhausting cramming will help your child learn many more words and phrases in a comfortable environment and without the participation of a tutor.
Why do kids need English?
Some opponents of early teaching methods believe that this approach can cause problems with speech development. But it is also worth remembering the positive features:
Education for a child under 3 years of age is much easier than at school age;
Learning English with a child is also an interesting activity for parents, if you find the right approach to it.
Studying is a joy
To make it more interesting and effective, pay attention to the following points:
Positive approach and belief in the child’s creative potential;
A non-violent approach to learning – including strict daily routines and activities to test assignments. Even minimal pressure during the learning process can lead a child to psychological trauma, which often happens in various early development groups;
Parental intuition will help you focus not on the requirements of the program, but be guided by the baby’s interest in various issues, stimulating his curiosity;
The desire of parents for self-education - in order to provide interesting material to the child as fully as possible;
The ability to timely praise for success.
It so happens that most teachers love to teach and express criticism. But the ability to express praise in a timely manner will help not only set the child in the right mood, but also give him an incentive to continue learning English.
Where to start
When you want to help a child learn a second language that is generally far from your native one, first of all you need to organize an artificial atmosphere of a foreign language environment and learn to navigate it well. Children understand the material perfectly well even without lengthy explanations of the peculiarities of grammar, and the only way to create interest is through clarity and playful presentation of the material.
The entire learning process is best started with the ability to perceive English by ear. Listening will help prepare your child to answer questions and enrich his vocabulary, allowing him to quickly grasp intonation nuances.
With the English Club TV channel, you can raise your level of English for more active communication and learning of your child, without having to leave for a long time to take a new course.
