In the trend of integration of the times, English has become the second most commonly used language after mother tongue.

MC: Mina is a special girl, when she was young, she mastered foreign languages, so when did she start learning English?

Mina: When you were 2 years old, I started teaching you English. When you grew up, I still spent a lot of time learning English with you. I have learned English through books, stories, facebook, youtube, communicating with foreigners or with my own mother at home. I also often make English games to make it easier to remember words.

MC: Who inspired Mina to study English well?

Mina: This is my mother!

MC: For Khanh Ly, did you face any difficulties in the process of starting to teach your child English?

Editor Mui Khanh Ly: When Mina was 2 years old, I introduced her to English. English is not my native language, but I still want my children to approach English in the most natural way, from the main words of everyday communication. Because my child is still learning to speak, sometimes I will intersperse sentences of communication in English with him.

Or give them a chance to meet foreign friends so they can understand the value of this second language, if they want to communicate with them they need to know English. For me, I want to make English a simple and normal thing in life, not at all a compulsory subject or a barrier for my children.

MC: For Mina, what do you usually find easiest and most difficult when learning English?

Mina: I don’t find it too difficult because my mother often integrates English games with me. If I have a hard time remembering words, I often draw mind maps, tell stories in English, match word games… all of them are very fun and interesting.

MC: Was Mina’s game and how to learn English guided by her mother?

Mui Khanh Ly editor: I always create the most flexible and comfortable learning environment for my children by combining English with many different games. These methods can be taught by the mother, or sometimes by the child himself who learns from the programs he watches.

MC: Children are often afraid to communicate in English, especially with foreigners. Does Baby Mina have any tips to make it easier for you to communicate?

Mina: I am always confident and not afraid of being wrong. When I started speaking English, I couldn’t always speak properly. Each of us needs to speak more, communicate more courageously. At home, I often talk to my mother, I will correct where I went wrong.

Mui Khanh Ly editor: Not only children, even adults sometimes don’t feel confident when communicating in English. Being brave and not afraid of being wrong is what I always remind Mina.

I will let Mina speak freely, give her a chance to express herself, then I will gently point out her mistakes and gradually help her correct them. Gradually, the baby will make noticeable progress.

MC: Many parents choose to let their children learn English on their own by watching lots of videos, listening to English music online? How would you rate the effectiveness of this learning method?

Mui Khanh Ly editor: In my opinion, learning English through videos is one of the best ways to help your child develop. However, how you see it is also something that deserves special attention.

Watch videos together, if you use the same English conversation to have fun with your child again, it will be much more effective than letting your child watch it passively. Sometimes parents don’t need to talk too well, but parents need to listen to their children and encourage them to have opportunities to express themselves.

MC: Mina has the advantage when the whole family is fluent in English. So in Is there a requirement to speak English at home, Mina mother and baby?

Mina: Not. At home, my mother and I can speak English and Vietnamese all the time.

Mui Khanh Ly editor: I always want to give my child the most comfortable and natural way, so I won’t force him. I often create random situations in my own daily life, asking quick questions during normal activities.

For example: “How does this thing speak English”, “Can you help me speak English about this object?”…

MC: For families who don’t have the advantage of parents who are good at English, is there a way for their children to study well?

Mui Khanh Ly editor: This is also a common question that many parents receive. I am also a beginner like most other parents.

The process of teaching children to learn is also a process of self-improvement and self-improvement. Ly has also accompanied her child since childhood, when I have doubts, I will seek answers from linguists.

This mother and daughter are willing to accompany each other to discover new knowledge, from real life to online. I believe that self-study is the best way to improve your abilities whether you are an adult or a child.

MC: As a busy person, how does Khanh Ly manage his time to spend with his children?

Mui Khanh Ly editor: Not only me, but most parents nowadays are very busy. Working, taking care of a family and raising children is not easy at the same time. With my daughter I always advise her to have as much time as possible, she needs to do everything as quickly and neatly as possible.

For example, after finishing class, I can immediately work on the questions in class, the rest of the time I use to have fun or learn a foreign language.

Even though I am busy, I still actively manage time to guide my children to study. I often give lesson topics to my children, and prepare the necessary things in advance in the evening when I have free time. Sometimes you can use it while doing homework, while cooking to talk with your child.

It is a way to help me communicate and learn with my children on a daily basis in an organized and comfortable way. Avoid ignoring your child for so long that he will forget what he has learned. A little every day, but over a long period of time, you can accumulate a large amount of knowledge.
