Discover the top 10 tips from our teachers:

1. sing and listen to songs in English. Your child will learn new words and improve their pronunciation.
2. encourage your child to watch movies or cartoons in English.
3. dedicate an English corner at home, that is, a space dedicated to the English language. For example, display games, books, images of English culture.
4. read stories in English to your young children.
5. encourage your older children to read as much as possible for enjoyment.

7. be an example and speak to your child in English every day if possible.
8. use English around the theme of cooking, for example display the shopping list or make a family recipe.
