Re: Is Bi-Lingual Education Important to You? | | hi to all of you well i think if you watched some of the kids educational shows you will have your answer i mean dora , diego and lots more are encouraging kids to explore new languages as for me two languages is not good enoug i am working on two languages with the basic arabic that my children learn from me i work on english and french , at this early age i never sit and teach them the words .. nor i talk to them in that language or have a person to speaks only that language with them .. i use cartoon i only let them watch cartoon in the language i want them to learn then i use the words that they heard at the show again and again until i know they learned it then i let them watch the same show in another language ... it's amazing .. my Mido now recognize the difference between the three languages and sometimes he asks me to play a dvd in a specific language " like Dora francais , or english cars " and he tells the difference between the arabic letters and english letters .. why do i do all that ... well i believe that as much as i can teach him now by playing having fun the more free time he will have when he starts school and everything will be easy for him so he won't be frustrated by homeworks and study i wish i try to make him like the learning process .
