English for the Little Ones and the Loving Parents: English Grammar in Signs and Symbols (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781796077650)

Many years passed since the idea to write a book teaching English to kids and parents came to my mind and now I want to share it with you. I started my career as a teacher at school, teaching English to children in a secondary school and found out, that it was too late to start teaching a foreign language to the kids of age 11-12 years old. The linguistic ability to grasp languages at this age was declining and we, as teachers, were simply wasting our efforts: it was hard for the children to master a new language and it was hard for the teacher to make them learn it.The learning process became painful and in most cases unsuccessful. The natural way out of this precarious situation was to start teaching English as early as possible, when kids can start learning with no effort, when new words are remembered in no time and speech in a foreign language comes as easy as the mother language. So I started experimenting with the kid's age at which learning a foreign language can be done most easy and in a favorable way. My approach was different from just developing the bilingual kids. When developing a bilingual child one should speak with a child in both languages. Usually two parents can do this effortlessly by speaking with a child in two languages simultaneously and then a child can speak both languages. But who in my country at this time, the former USSR, could speak English at home to a child?
