Experts believe that it is very necessary and feasible to learn English from dolls. The latest research shows that 0-6 years old is a critical period for children to learn their mother tongue, and during this period, children are geniuses in language learning. Without affecting the Chinese language system, it makes sense that the earlier you learn other languages, such as English, the better the learning effect, and the sooner you learn, the faster your children will accept it. But if you learn too early, will it affect the learning of Chinese as your mother tongue?

Children's bilingual learning

Many parents are worried that children learning foreign languages too early will conflict with the development of their mother tongue. Teacher Zhang Xia believes that in fact, children's bilingual learning seems to have ups and downs, and the development of their mother tongue and second language is one after another, so it is difficult to achieve an absolute balance between the two languages. Don't worry, it's just a temporary imbalance in language development, which is normal and healthy.

Prenatal education has begun.

This kind of mother tongue plus foreign language learning should start with prenatal education. For families whose parents can't speak English, English songs, English movies and other things can be played for half an hour every day.

The earlier you study, the better.

Zhang Xia, a teacher in the Children's Department of Shanghai New Oriental Foreign Language School, strongly advocates learning as soon as possible. "To quote an education expert,' Even if you start studying three days after birth, you will start studying one day later than two days after birth'." Teacher Zhang Xia said.

bilingual education

However, bilingual education begins with early childhood education, and its main purpose is to cultivate the thinking ability of a language. "Like many children born in Shanghai, they are educated in two languages, Shanghai dialect and Mandarin, but they can't be confused when they grow up."

Cerebral cortex protection system

Moreover, according to human physiological laws, after 12 years old, people's cerebral cortex will gradually form a protective system, and their ability to accept new languages will be weaker at this time.
