Why should my child learn French?
Learning a second language at an early age is often easier than as an adult as young leaners are more receptive to language learning and acquire new vocabulary naturally rather than having to study hard to remember it. Young children are also more likely to be enthusiastic about learning French.
How should you correct mistakes in French?
When someone is learning French it's only natural to make mistakes from time to time. However, rather than tell the young learner they are wrong many people believe it is better to say "yes" or "oui" and then repeat the correct version for them to hear as with time the child should self correct, just like they have when they learnt their native language. As adults we don't like to get things wrong as it can be demotivating and children feel the same way. So praise your child / children as much as you can to encourage them.
Speaking French abroad
If you have the opportunity take your child on a trip to France or another French speaking country so they can experience hearing French spoken in a natural environment and maybe even pick up some new words!
