How do I begin to teach my child language?

Question

to learn his natie language

Answer 1

Stimulating language can begin any time, even in the womb. But it's even more important from birth. Don't be afraid to talk to your child. You don't need to use "baby talk" and it's mostly been proven to be un-useful since it doesn't teach proper pronunciation of words. Just talk as you would to anyone else, while you go about your daily routine, pointing out objects such as "Here's your diaper." "here's your foot." "Here's the pink toy."

Reading is also very important, even before your child can pick his or her own books or turn pages or even focus on a page.

Answer 2

Talk to your baby from the moment it's born ... and DO NOT USE 'babytalk' or even 'small words' ... talk to your baby as if you were talking to an adult (and even 'answer' for it, because that gives them more 'input' into the 'language' they are learning from the first moment they're born.
One thing ... I have done a 'study' on children who are raised in 'bilingual' households and compared them to children who don't start learning a 'second language' until middle school or later. Being 'bilingual' may take 'more intelligence' but from birth those 'language rules' just go into a 'general language file' not into 'separate languange files' and the 'bilingual student' will have MORE TROUBLE with 'writing properly' and even in 'speaking properly' later ... so teach only the 'native language' of the country you are in, if possible ... and teach the 'other language' starting after the child is at least 8 years old.

I have a suggestion. Parents used this with me when I was little try Hooked on Phonics it will help, Might be able to type it in on internet and search about it. Also they have computer learning games for toddlers like jumpstart and reader or math or other kinds of rabbit programs.

Answer 4

i dont know if you speak another language but that is the best way for a child to learn is that they hear it alot... if you dont speak another language they have classes for children to learn languages at a young age... its good for the kids and helps the childs brain to eplore options! try places like the sylvan learning center and your local community center

Answer 5

My psych teacher told us about some language acquisition studies... children of signing parents generally start "talking" earlier, I think at six months - they're physically ready for signing before they're ready for forming sounds :) My psych teacher used basic ASL with her daughter (things like thirsty, milk, up), and they communicated that way before she was old enough to speak. It sounds cool! I plan on trying that with my kids. Well, good luck to you!

A foreign language?

Answer 7

hello!!
well you shouldn't use baby talk with a child because it would teach the baby bad grammar so when talking with a baby who would begin to speak, try to speak in a regular way like the way we speak to regular people.
however the best thing it to spend as much time with the child!!

Answer 8

Talk to it/her/him in reasonably clear language with good sentence structure (getting away from "goo goo, whosa lita bahbee") and talk about what you are doing and what you are planning, especially together. "We are going to get ready to ride in the car." "We are getting ready for bed."
If you don't already, provide a high chair, etc., so you can safely plant the kid in your presence without safety risks and talk about cooking, washing, cleaning, repairing, etc.

Answer 9

You mean to speak? Just talk to the child and they will learn to mimic you.

Answer 10

Talk to the child. The child will pick it up.
