Q: Ako učiť dieťa angličtinu od narodenia?
A: Diskutujúce matky odporúčali metódu "one parent–one language", pravidelné spievanie anglických lullabies a učenie cez nursery rhymes a detské programy (napr. Thomas the Tank Engine, Ten Green Bottles).

Závery z diskusie

Zhoda

  • Weby www.englishpage.com a http://www.sitesforteachers.com/index.html sú v diskusii uvádzané ako užitočné zdroje na gramatiku a cvičenia.
  • Počúvanie anglických pesničiek a rýmovačiek (English lullabies, Ten Green Bottles) a sledovanie detských programov v angličtine (Thomas the Tank Engine) sú praktické metódy na zvyknutie dieťaťa na jazyk.


Sporné názory

  • Niektorí diskutéri tvrdia, že prepínanie jazykov môže dieťa zmiasť; iní tvrdia, že systém "one parent–one language" alebo používanie jazyka v konkrétnych situáciách dieťaťu pomáha naučiť sa, kedy ktorý jazyk používať.


Otvorené otázky

  • Koľko hodinovej expozície angličtine denne potrebujú malé deti, aby dosiahli funkčnú úroveň plynulosti?
  • Aká je optimálna kombinácia samoučenia (CD/MP3, piesne, filmy) a formálnych kurzov alebo konverzačných hodín pre dospelých študentov, aby videli rýchle zlepšenie?

bejby: i don´t mind it 🙂 I started learning Spanish several months ago - I simply love this language but I had to give it up because of the lack of time... 😒 but I hope to return to it again during my ML 😀 maybe 🙂
But I still can remember some basic sentences and questions and answers 😀 such as "donde estas?" or "de donde vives?" or "como te llamas?" I hope I´ve written it right 😅
hey, by the way bejby can u translate the song "tu quieres volver"? what does it mean do u know?

Weroni, are you going to speak English with your child or not? I´m curious... 😉 Cause I like it and maybe I wanna speak English with my child sometimes in future, but I´m not sure if it is possible for me. It is pretty hard... 😔

mexx: yes, I´m - but just when we are alone - just me and my sweetie 🙂 also going to join English songs, poems, rhymes, stories 🙂 but I can´t speak in English to my little baby while being among Slovak speaking people so I will speak EN but also SK to him (or her?) 😀 we´ll see in June 😝 😀

Casue I heard if you started to speak some foreign language to a child, you have to speak all the time this language. And then I think it´s pretty hard... 😅 Cause I don´t know, if I´m good enough in English to handle this...

lefika
25. mar 2008

i've heard that too. that's why i didn't try. i didn't want to talk to her exclusively in english. but, i couldn't find thomas in slovak 😉 and, we have many english books for children.

I think it can´t be bad speak English at least sometimes...it can help to learn English sometimes in future. 🙂

i've heard switching languages confuses the child 😒 but i agree with you: it can't hurt hearing another language from time to time: i think saska will get used to hearing it a may remember something. it might help later when she studies english at school...i hope 😉

Hi girls, could you please translate one sentence for me? I have to write a text in which I have to use reported speech, but I am sure, I would do a lot of mistakes in this sentence, because there is a combination of reported speech and conditional. It is for my homework. So, here is the sentence: Povedala mi, že keby to používala častejšie, je si istá, že by sa to pokazilo viac ako 4x. I have problem especially with the second half of it.
Thanks, if you can help me.

Weroni-yeah,It´s a bit complicating,but I´m working on that.
A coordinator from an agency phoned me last week and he told me I should have a teaching job from September 2008 in England.

I have to arrange all documents,to have them translated as well-send CV,references...and so on.
So that´s why I´m not sure about the exact location yet.

It also depends on my husband´s job.So,we will see 😉
