What can I do to help my child learn
a language? Chances are, if you’ve returned from a holiday abroad your child may be biting at the bit to continue learning the country’s language and if your child shows an eagerness to learn a language it’s really helpful to keep the momentum going. A
good way to support this is to take an enthusiastic interest in the cultures and customs of other countries. Explain to your child the value of being able to speak a foreign language and the freedom it brings within a country. You may wish to supplement this interest by attending international cultural events to expose your child to the food, smells, music and customs that exist in the
country where your chosen language is spoken.
Next, to take it one step further, you can acquire educational DVDs, CDs and books that encourage language development. Both Alliance Francais and Instituto Cervantes have excellent courses for young children. A child will become more articulate as time moves on, especially if they are encouraged to listen closely,
learn through imitation and repeat the exercises regularly. Essentially, the more exposure a child gets to languages at an early age, the more they will pick up.
