Kids Learning

Children learn English differently from adults. They have an innate ability to pick up language while taking part in an activity that connects language with images. That's why connecting animals and English fundamentals is a secret way to program the language into your children's brain. Young kids are like sponges. And once your kid grows older, it becomes much harder to learn a foreign language. Don't let your fears and lack of knowledge take away your child's opportunities.
