Listen in to Why, When and How You Should Introduce a Second Language to Your Little One
Michelle of MomsTalkRadio.com conducted a great interview with me, Boca Beth, and I would love you to listen in! Click here to listen in on this short but edutaining radio interview!
I speak to why you should introduce a second (or third and fourth) language to children before the age of five (it helps promote early reading skills, develops the cognitive area of the child’s brain PLUS helps your child gain a lifetime of language learning skills when it’s easier to do so).
I also address the when you should try to get the language learning going (between the ages of birth and ten is best according to every expert in the field of early childhood education and linguistics PLUS I speak about how, as a monolingual parent or teacher, you can do this introduction of the second language easily and in the car, in the classroom, out at the park, in the kitchen - making it a part of your daily routine which is essential to a young child having the repetition necessary for learning any new concept).
And finally I speak with Michelle about how interaction is the key to beginning the second language journey - that playing with your child as you introduce an engaging DVD that speaks both in the native language and the new language is key along with using music to teach the child Spanish and English together (provided those are the two languages in your family’s life!).
Again … I invite you to listen in by clicking here … then invite me for an interview on your local TV station, radio station or favorite print publication! I love sharing my Boca Beth passion for second language learning with young children!
Happy Educating! ¡Sea feliz educando!
