by Sandara Kim ***

Basically a lot of the post-80s generation young parents began to learn English from their junior high school, but at that time, they learn English in a completely spoon-feeding way only in order to pass the exam, leading the post-80s generation think it is so difficult to learn English. So the post-80s generation young parents should understand the importance and scientific feature of English learning, which aims to inspire the interest of children in learning English.

1.It's never too late to learn English, best start with children

English is a communication tool, the more you use, the more skilled you will be in using English. If you want to use this tool, you should first understand the basic properties of this tool, in fact, human beings can grasp it at any time, it is actually not so difficult as you imagine. Just like  we learn to use a computer, when we use more naturally, the typing speed will become faster, the same as English. If you want your children speak English as fluently as a native speaker, and English must be the same as the native language to access and use it. There are some things you should pay attention to.

Firstly, parents should always encourage children

Be sure to always encourage your children. Many children learn English and have good results, the reason is primarily due to the child are praised by their parents as long as they have got a little progress, the child will have a sense of accomplishment if they are inspired and then the accomplishment will inspire their confidence and interest. Children of any stage are suitable to learn English, the key lies in the attitude of their parents. Let the children learn with a joy and establish the self-confidence of learning. What’s more, you can give your child a reward if he speaks English well, you can give him a RC airplane for present.

Secondly, parents need to communicate with children in English

If the parents can speak some English at home, it is also a good chance for the children to learn, so that they feel that English is still very interesting and know English can be used to communicate. If you add some English in life. Children will be able to know the status of the use of English in daily life, they will think that they must communicate with their parents with this kind of language, as a result, they will naturally go to learn, so parents must be diligent demonstration. But an English expert suggests that parents should have correct pronunciation before the first demonstration, because you may be the child's first teacher, "be a child of the provider, feedback, role-models," let the children be happy in learning English.

The so-called provider is that who can provide interesting educational materials, feedback is that who always children encouragement, but the role model is to become a person objects to let children learn. Therefore, parents must first have the correct English skills in order to be a role model for children, if you don’t have correct English skills, you can only try to do the role of the former two.

2.How to choose the children's English teaching material? 

Choose a funny teaching material, so that he can operate, the material had better be humorous, can play, with low pressure and great fun, and remember not to treat the learning as a premise, as long as the child to learn for fun, they will learn. If they are not interested, of course, they don't want to learn.

Do not buy too old-fashioned book, it will be difficult for children to digest, because the child is very fickle, if they missed time that they are interested in, they do not want to touch, and parents once bought a lot of books, content and form are very similar, kids are prone to resentment, but the money has been spent, parents are eager to let children read, but once child have pressure, they will not read. An English expert recommends that parents try to buy only one book one time and content is various, and to meet the child's interest, and slowly the child's level of English will improve. Meet the child's interest is very important, if you buy many books for your child but he has no interest at all, the books will be meaningless. So as a parent, the basic thing is to know your child’s interest.

If the books have sound, then do not choose too complex background music, CD's background picture had better not be colorful, this will lead to the kids take away the original focus of listening or watching.

Of course, if you want to teach children to learn English at home, you had better buy international mature teaching material, such as longman and Oxford and other teaching materials, after years of practice, a lot of outside agencies are in use, it has many advantages. 

I think as long as you grasp the tips to teach English to children and you put your mind into it, you child must learn English well.
