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?

Hi girls,

thank you for my welcome.

Gabi83 I admire you. I ´m not so strong to learn English alone. I have watched TV CNN, but only 3 days. Before one year ago I started to read one book in english, but now I ´m on 32 page 😀 .

Lucy I think for the the children is easy to learn other language. Your babies are succes of that

🙂 🙂 🙂

Hi girls,
I have to say-you can learn English properly even in Slovakia-The problem is-you have to be well MOTIVATED!!!!
I studied English for 11 years in Slovakia without going abroad.When I was 19, I went to the UK and people were amazed how great my English was.I do believe that it is because I attended bilingual grammar school -that´s why...But I´m "in love" with English language anyway,so...

Keep trying and one day you can be fluent.

And it is really amazing how quickly can children learn-really 😕
I´m teaching children from different countries.Some of them came 1 or 2 years ago and they are just so fluent you wouldn´t believe 😕 😅

And I would also strongly disagree with people who are telling all the time that they do not need to learn language at home,because they will learn it abroad.It is much easier when you have at least basics from the language-otherwise you are struggling 😝
..but again-there´s a big difference if it is a child or an adult 😉

Agree 😀

I remember a friend from Argentina at my language school in England - he couldn´t say one single word in EN!!!! You´d say Hi! and he went 😕 it took him three horrible months before he could go for a beer with classmates and actually TALK - then he said he was a fool travelling half the world without saying one single word...
We went from school to a cinema to see that film " Sleepers". next day we talked about that in the class and I said that I couldn´t understand why had the film been called "Sleepers". So he came the next lesson and said "Nora, I know why is the film called like that. It means" - and he showed me his shoes and wrote on whiteboard "Slippers".... 😉 stupid me 😀 😀 😀

Etuška, I tried, but it was special freezing sunbathing. I closed my eyes and were imagining that the same garden several months ago. But a snowball im my face definetely awoke me and put me back into reality.

Norik- it was. It still will be the most beautiful moment in my life. Looking at my sons admiring their litlle sister.

etuska, 11 years 😲 you must be great! and I agree, it´s big difference between adults and kids. I do my best, but everybody can hear I´m not English. but my children, they have very good accent. even Manchester´s and now Northampton´s. and they can understand people talking with mouthful, running, small children, but I can´t ☹ It took such a long time I began understand our health visitor. she is from Scotland 😖

Hi, I was quite busy for a couple of days so I didn´t have time to join you, but I admit I spent loooots of time on MMB, my daughter adores Rosie and Jim but we´ve got only one dvd with just 3 stories and she must watch it every single day 😅 and I´m already fed up with watching it over and over again 😠 so I hoped to find some new dvds. Unfortunately I discovered only few videotapes and because we haven´t got a video it would not help ☹ . But at least I´ve bought her a book. I wonder why can´t she have some favourites characters which are not so problematic to find here in Slovakia. Why kids always want something you can´t obtain 😅 .
She´s sleeping right now so hopefully I´ll have time to read what you´ve written since my last visit here.
