Question

English is a foreign language for me,now we moved in a multy-linguist country.My son is 18 months and I need to teach him some childish english vocabs .Could you give me some information or recommend a site?

Answer 1

POOR THING DO NOT PRESSURE HIM HE STILL SMALL WAIT TIL HE IS 24 MONTHS ... FOR NOW GET SOME TOYS LIKE BABIES EINSTEIN OR LEAP FROGS THIS R COLOR-FULL LEARNING GAMES FIND SOME AT TOYSRUS.....  IF U DO NOT HAVE IT NEAR YOU GO TOYSRUS.COM U WILL C THE STUFF FOR 18MONTHS OLD BABIES GOD LUCK!!!

Answer 2

You should first teach your child your native language and then teach him english. It will work better this way, he can speak his native tounge and English.

Answer 3

Children are like sponges, and will learn a lot easier than you think.

Let her master the language you will be speaking at home, then teach him the essentials in english 'mum', 'dad', 'milk', food' etc. and she will learn an awful lot naturally due to her young mind. xx

Answer 4

You could try to teach him American Sign Language (ASL).  Babies develop motor control before they can talk.  Signing Time is a great series for this.  Rachel Coleman, her deaf daughter Leah, and Leah's hearing cousin Alex help children develop ASL vocabulary in a fun way.  They also have a sister series called Baby Signing Time, which is structured differently.  It is more engaging for young children.  All of these will help your child in language and may boost their IQ (Intelligence Quotient) scores.

Sorry that's it's long, I just wanted to help!  Signing Time is a GREAT series, and NO child should be denied it.  Any child, no matter what their abilities can use it to learn sign language vocabulary.  I hope you consider my advice and choose Signing Time for your child.  You do not need to buy Signing Time to watch it if it's on PBS where you live.  Otherwise, you will probably need to buy the DVDs to watch it.  It will NOT delay your child's speech (contrary to popular belief), and you will not regret it!

Answer 7

Wait until your child is two years old before trying to teach him english. If another language is the main language in your house, then use that to talk to him. Once he is two have your son go to a preschool/daycare or take some classes in music or dance or baby gym where he is with other english speaking children and an english speaking teacher. He will develop both languages better this way.

Also make sure you read books to your son in your native language and have some in english as well. It is important for him to be able to read, write, and speak in BOTH languages!
