1. Start with the Basics: Mastering the Foundation

“To grow a straight tree, you must plant it from the roots” – if you want your child to learn English effectively, parents need to build a solid foundation for them from the start. Let’s begin with the basics:

6. The Story of Minh and English:

Minh is a 7-year-old boy who is very active and mischievous. Minh loves playing games and watching cartoons, but Minh is very afraid of learning English. Every time Minh’s mother wants to teach Minh English, Minh tries to avoid it.

“I hate English! English is too difficult!”, Minh often complained.

Minh’s mother understood her son’s psychology, so she didn’t force Minh to learn English. Instead, Minh’s mother created conditions for Minh to be exposed to English naturally. Minh’s mother regularly played English music in the house, watched English cartoons with Minh, and taught Minh simple English vocabulary through fun games.

Gradually, Minh began to feel interested in English. Minh likes to sing fun English songs and watch colorful English cartoons. Minh also started to learn simple English vocabulary and confidently communicate in English with friends.

“Mom, I can read and write English now! I love English so much!”, Minh said excitedly.

Minh’s story is proof of the effectiveness of teaching English to children at home. By creating conditions for children to be exposed to English naturally, parents can help children love English and learn English effectively.
