"After we talked, I've spoken nothing but French to my one year old for close to seven weeks now. All of his new words are French, and from what I can tell he understands me completely." Not even two months into her campaign to raise her two children speaking French as well as English, Sheilagh Margot Riordan in Forida has noticed a dramatic difference in the progress between her two children: "My three and a half year old is much trickier. Even though I speak only French to her, she Replies in English, but I guess about 70% of all understand, I say. "Frankly, Sheilagh concern that it is too late for his over-the-Hill has become fluent in two languages to three years.
In our culture, we feel sometimes that if you spring for classes in ballet, violin, two or three, it's over. Although there is no doubt that the best time to start learning languages at birth, it is not impossible, to reach fluency later in life. Languages moreInteraction provided the dramatic progress, and easier for the child. Even older children are still children, and remain, talkative and uninhibited by self-consciousness. However, the transition to multilingualism requires motivation, here are some tips and tested.
You know how when you advertise that it is bedtime, the child says, "Why?" You can get the same reaction to your new language program. "Why do I say this in Korean, though I know, they say,English already? "This is a legitimate question and the answer must be a need for adulation, fun, o. There is not much else will fly. Here are some possible answers:" Because I / grandmother / all the others speak only Korean. " This book / play / song is in Korean. "" You have been sooo good yesterday. "" So you can teach baby Ethan when he was a big boy like you. "" So you and Greg, you can have the secret language. "
After explaining the next stepspeak only in a minority language, even (or nurse, or that your child is the main language of the source). If you are confused and glasses looks to translate. And be reasonable to accept responses in the primary languages in which the first start.
(*) If the child answers back into the community of language, say "Yes" and then repeat the phrase in the minority language.
(*) If you know that your child is able to say a word in particular, but hard to rememberjog her memory by providing the first syllable.
(*) Be careful not to dampen her enthusiasm. Don't make speaking the second language an inflexible rule or something that becomes onerous.
(*) You'll just inspire revolution in the ranks. You might require adherence to the language rules you've set up if you know she has the vocabulary - just as you demand 'pleases' and 'thank yous.' For example, when you're child is asking for a glass of milk, you can require that she just ask in the minority language. But if you tell what happened to the circus, only to hear and repeat again in the second language excited. In this way, make her the missing words in a positive way.
(*) And as always, endless praise. Even if the translation or the child just sixteen grammatical errors in a sentence of four words is issued. In fact, they do not understand a child easy if you try it before the age of correctthree. Instead, just repeat the words correctly (a process known model). Alternatively, you could take a joke and say, 'Oops, that came out wrong! "Laughter and ensure the correct way to say, to do more to continue playing as a corrective.
Many parents have asked me: "So now, as we can now live with our new system language?" Once the child the vocabulary to understand the second language, joining the strategy language is important - if not, returns toA place and the community of language! Just think of the things that could never make the child even though she prays, cries and tantrums: things like riding a car without a seat belt, do not brush their teeth or across the street from him. Do not negotiate for the use of language more than you about these things, and she will finally get a picture - despite the occasional earful. Give at least six months, and your perseverance will be richly rewarded.
Sheilagh saysthat she realizes her trouble is well worth it and has stopped worrying about beginning too late: "Instead of looking at the things I should have done (speak French since birth), I am looking at the great achievements we have made so far."
