In my opinion, a parent should learn English too. Learning English is a long trip for every kid. Taking China for example, Chinese parents let their kids to accept English language education when they are two or three years old even earlier. Chinese parents wants their kids can get more vocabulary, fluently speaking and get familiar with English-communication environment. But this situation only happened in language training school which has foreign teachers(English native speakers) and totally use English during the class. It means that parents pay a lot of money to let their kids have the environment. But most kids only have one-hour of the environment per week. How does the environment work? How can the kids get familiar with English? There is a four years old boy, his name is Eric, teaches simple English on an video App. He has large vocabulary base, fluent and clear expression and self-confidence. In the comment zone, a lot of parents says they admire the kid, if the kid is living abroad or not, how do parents educated, which website of learning English they are using and they want to have the same kid. And Eric’s mom responds that they are living in China and they never go abroad before. Her English skill is better than Eric’s father’s so she tries her best to learn and speak English with Eric together for the whole time at home. Eric is a successful example of learning English and we can summarize some advantages of parent learn English with their kids from his videos. At first, parent is a great example for kid to learn English. We also can see another scene when the kids studying at home in many Chinese families. The kids are reading book, writing homework toughly and their parent are either watching TV or monitor the kids studying. In the hearts of kids, they feel unfair for their parents can enjoy the night when they are trapped in misery. But when the parent are studying with the kids, they will have power to struggle with difficulties. Because they know their parent always stay by their side and help them. This is the process of interest building in English learning. Like Eric and his mom, they like playing quiz game. Sometimes mom is the teacher but mostly Eric is the teacher ask his mom questions in English and identify mom’s answer is true or false. It is a good exercise for kids to build confidence to learn English. Secondly, as I mentioned, building a English language environment is very important for the kids to learn English. And then how to build the environment? It needs parent’s effort. Parents should try their best to speak English with their kids. Not every parent has perfect English speaking skill and fluent communication skill. But it doesn’t matter. All that matter is parents learn English with kids. They are partners instead of parents and kids when they are learning English together. Finally, for parents, learn English can get close with your kids. You can discuss problems in English together and travel abroad. You are not only parents and children but also companies. This is great for building good relationships. At this moment, you set a good example for your kids. It will help them developing good study habits and benefit to the kids’ whole life. If parents want their kids have more skills and fall in love with studying, parents shouldn’t be lazy when your kids are studying. Learn English with your kids and it is a great support for them.
