Why learn English from an early age?
Starting English early does not turn a child into a bilingual overnight. But it builds useful habits: listening, imitating sounds and, above all, speaking without fear of mistakes.
A more available ear
Young children easily tell apart sounds that adults confuse. Regular exposure to English keeps that flexibility alive.
Less fear of mistakes
A child who plays with a language from preschool gets used to speaking it. That spoken ease is often what is most missing later on.
Regularity over intensity
A few minutes every day beat one long weekly session. Songs, short stories, games: enjoyment matters as much as content.
What parents can do
You do not need to speak fluent English. Watching a cartoon in English, listening to nursery rhymes, naming everyday objects: continuity is what counts.
