If you decide to introduce your child to English, the first thing you should do is choose a convenient time for lessons - during this period the baby should be well-rested, well-fed and ready to play.
Please note: if we are talking about younger preschoolers, the duration of the lesson should not exceed 10-15 minutes.
After this, you can begin to choose a suitable way to learn English - fortunately, there are a great many of them.
Songs
Songs help a child to quickly and cheerfully immerse himself in the language environment. In addition, while singing, the baby learns to pronounce whole phrases, gets acquainted not only with vocabulary, but also with grammar. All that remains is to add a couple of funny movements, and you have a ready-made first component of an English lesson.
Fairy tales
Fascinating stories with colorful characters will be a great exercise for developing auditory perception in young students, introduce them to new words and help calm down even the most active children.
Before you start reading, introduce your child to the words from the fairy tale so that he understands what is being discussed.
Cartoons
Short, engaging stories are a great way to develop language intuition. If a child is not yet familiar with many words, he or she will be able to guess their meaning by watching the events of the cartoon.
It is important to choose cartoons according to the child's age and perseverance. Full-length cartoons lasting about two hours are definitely not suitable for introducing English - instead, opt for one short episode up to ten minutes long.
