Rote Memorizations of English, Better if the Environment Advocated the Uses of English Daily

On how to learn a new language more effectively, from the Front Page Sections, translated…

My child spent a huge sum of money, to place my granddaughter in a dual-language kindergarten, she’d studied there for three whole years to date, and can memorize her textbook front to back, and back to front; but as I’d flipped to the fifth lesson, asked her to recite it she’d told me, that she’d needed to, start reciting from lesson one in order to do lesson five……oh, I understand it now, she’s, a rote memorization machine, nothing more.  As she’d entered into the elementary years, she’d not taken any English lessons, and she’d, managed to forget EVERYTHING she’d learned in her kindergarten and preschool years.

The professional scholars believed, that head start isn’t the key, but the continuing learning of the language.  Before my own daughter entered into the fifth grade, she’d NOT received an ounce of English training, the summer entering into her sixth grade year, she’d entered into the middle school get-ahead programs, and by the time she’d graduated elementary school, she’d already done the course load of her English courses in the first year of middle school, and, in the high school entrance exams, she’d made a perfect score on her English section of the exams.

My grandson is American, schooled in an American school, by age three, he couldn’t speak a word in English, and his parents threw him into an all-English environment, and in no more than just a few months, he’d started, having conversations in English with someone fluently, and this, was the effect of continued learning.

And so, continued exposure is the KEY here, and it doesn’t matter IF you place your kid into an all-English learning environment, if there’s NO use for the language outside of the school setting, that means, that the kid won’t be able to utilize what s/he learned, and soon, everything s/he learned in the English education setting will get forgotten, so, if you want your children to become fluent in a foreign language, speak it to them, or, better yet, DROP them into an environment where the language is being spoken, and, surely enough, your kid will pick it up and become fluent speakers soon enough!
