Why should young children learn English with Helen Doron Early English?
The younger the child, the easier it is to learn a spoken language with mother tongue proficiency. In fact, research indicates that in order to speak a language with the grammar and accent of a mother tongue, the language must be absorbed by age seven.
Also, learning a second or third language before age seven greatly stimulates brain growth. The child throughout life uses this greater brain capacity for every subject, be it language, math, atomic physics or music.
Helen Doron Early English assures that children learn English easily and joyfully, in a way that supports their emotional, cognitive and intellectual welfare.
Our classes are excellent for every child – gifted or with learning disabilities. In addition to teaching English, the classes build the child's general knowledge, motivation, self-esteem and character.
And … the younger the better! An infant who hears two languages will grow up understanding them both. It is not uncommon for a baby to grow up with even three or four languages and to understand them all. Experience has shown that children differentiate between the languages and as a result, their mental ability expands.
