Artificial intelligence (AI) is taking over the world. Machines and computer systems have stimulated the human intelligence system.
From the time we are born, language is a big part of our lives. We are created with a complete set of cognitive, physical, and emotional capacities that allow us to learn our mother tongue as soon as we become aware of the world around us.
Babies from 0 to 12 months communicate through non-verbal mechanisms such as crying, smiling, and kicking when they feel something. Of course, adults no longer do that. We speak to babies as if they are of our age which, amazingly, babies seem to understand. They sleep when they hear a lullaby and smile when they hear you say "hi" to them.
Simply said, language is innate or inborn to us. But, the language we get to live with is the one we were used to hearing at home. That is your native tongue. As you enter the age of schooling, that's when you become exposed to other languages such as English.
And, as you deal with more things in life together with other people around you, it is natural that you slowly embrace another language that is different from the one you were taught. You may be asking then, when is the best age to learn a new language? That’s what we’ll discuss today.
Good question. It's a question of readiness, mentally and physically. Adults can pick up new topics easily but the tongue and the ability to blend words is what may be the problem. This is especially true when your mother tongue is far from the new language you are trying to learn.
Therefore, the best age to learn a new language is during the early ages when your mind is still open to other ideas. It's easier to memorize and get familiarized because your knowledge is still very few. Children learn easier when they are surrounded by people talking to them using the new language.
Here are some of the steps that you can try if you want to teach your child a new language:
• Practice. You can do various creative games and activities to make children remember all the words and lessons effectively.
• Always start with the basics. Starting low is just applicable to the age and learning ability of the child. Do not rush and remember that they are just kids having fun while learning.
• Research online for new and inventive ways to make it enjoyable for children instead of making it boring.
• Make the new language a part of your child's life by letting them watch videos in English and have conversations with them in English.
There are a lot more of these things that you can try for your child's learning. This is the perfect age for learning any different language because the mind is still fresh and innocent.
Let kids enjoy more of their childhood while embracing the world through the language they speak. By doing this, they will become holistic and aware of the world.
Good luck!
