Language Games A Fun Way To Learn A Second Language (161 hits)
Language Games
Whatever your age have fun with language games. Playing while learning languages, is the easiest and less stressful way of becoming bilingual, we can all learn from children. Children have a window of opportunity to learn a foreign language, any foreign language, just like they learn their native tongue.
The brain is simply hardwired for children to pick up any language naturally. Therefore, they can take any accent and imitate it. More children are learning more than one language, and are starting to learn these new languages at a very early age.
In today’s globalized world, many young children, whose parents insist that their child’s education should include foreign languages, why? In our increasing global society, the ability to speak a second language proficiently will open a door to new life opportunities
As one mother speaks out ‘It’s such a global environment now, you never know what you might need, I started schooling my daughter in foreign languages when she was 6 weeks old. I wanted to make sure she had every tool and every benefit at her disposal’. Now her daughter is fluent in Japanese and Spanish. She also can understand bits of French, German, Arabic and Italian. Her daughter is only 5 years old.
Not only is learning a foreign language easier for children than it is for adults, but children who are exposed to other languages also do better in school, score higher on standardized tests, are better problem solvers and are more open to diversity. When children start learning languages at birth, they have the capacity to learn many languages at once without getting confused – because, as the brain develops, so too does the ability to separate one language from another.
