Can a 3 year old learn English?

Yes, my child is more than three years old, and he has been learning for 2 years, and there are a lot of English words and nursery rhymes, and I don't think they are inferior to children of one or two years old!

In response to this problem, there should be two questions in the hearts of parents:

First: If your child is too young, should you learn English?

Second: How will it affect the learning of the mother tongue after the child learns English?

Among them, the parent's direction is not very clear, you refer to the age of 3-6 years old, or before.

Let's start with the first question that parents ask? The child is too young, we temporarily understand that it is about the age of the child, should the child learn English if he is too young?

English, for us, is a language ability, not a technical ability.

I don't know if parents have heard that every child is a natural linguist.

From a domestic point of view, around 2005, the theory of second language acquisition and the concepts and views of foreign language education and teaching gradually entered the trend, and the trend of English enlightenment began to rise at the age of 3.

The main reasons are summarized as follows: children at this short age, strong pronunciation ability, from the fetus to the six-year-old stage, is a period of rapid brain development, but also a language sensitive period, children are particularly sensitive to different speech signals. Therefore, children between the ages of 3 and 6 can often imitate the pure intonation of speech and intonation very quickly when learning English.

Children learn language by "associating" language with the corresponding scene or image, and the left and right brains work closely together to finally realize linguistic thinking. However, as the child grows older, the child's memory patterns tend to converge on comprehensible memory.

Here parents should also clarify the difference between the two concepts: learning and acquisitionAs children who grow up under test-oriented education, language learning (referring to the learning of words, pronunciation, grammar, listening, reading, writing, etc.) is generally over 12 years old, and all rely on a lot of energy to hone. Language acquisition (refers to the gradual and subconscious development of first language skills through the natural use of first language skills in everyday communicative situations).

Once your child's precious time has passed, it is irreversible and should be planned for your child. If children can lay the foundation for English language learning through language acquisition at the age of 3-6, everything will be a breeze. From the utilitarian point of view of children's English learning, the early English learning and early preparation, the more time and energy will be spent in mathematics, physics and chemistry, biology and history and other subjects in the later stage.

Let's assume that if a child starts to learn English at the age of 8, it means that there will be another 4 years of junior high school, starting mathematics in the first year of junior high school, and adding physics and biology in the second year of junior high school. What's more, the new round of college entrance examination reform is the most affected language, and children's learning pressure is already unimaginable in junior high school. What's more, the new round of college entrance examination reform has been the most impacted, and the requirements for children's reading have surged.

At that time, how will the child's time be allocated? How can I have time to read extracurricular books?

Look at the living environment, if it is a city, it is best to start learning, now children are under great pressure to learn, and if they are not early, they are afraid that they will not be able to keep up with other people's children; If the living environment is average, it is recommended to study later, because if the English learning environment is not good, the child's sense of language, pronunciation and so on will be damaged.
