Give the Gift of a New Language
I recently visited a
friend's house, and I was so surprised at how fast her 4 year old son
could pick up concepts. The little boy's quite a fast learner. It is
within these early years when learning ability is at its best, and so
I asked my friend if she was interested in teaching her child a new
language. It turns out that they were already planning to teach their
child Chinese as a second language, and in an excited buzz, we talked
about the many books available to help them get started.
Why be multilingual? We live
in a world made small by globalization. A second language is an
advantage for business and for travel. And with so many economic
opportunities in China right now, learning the Chinese language is
definitely a good idea.
I have built my life around
helping parents and their children learn Chinese. And so one of my
greatest accomplishments is that I have put together resources for
Chinese made easy to learn. I have books for beginners, intermediate
learners, and advanced level students. My friends also love that most
books come with audio CDs to speed up learning and absorption.
Back to my friend's story. I
asked them to check out our page on learning Chinese resourcesappropriate for ages 3-5 years old. We have many fun and exciting
learning Chinese books, CD's, and DVD's that make learning Chinese a
snap. I am sure after a few months, her son will be teaching them how
to speak in Chinese.
If my friend can do it, so
can you!This Holiday season, why not give the gift of a new language
to your child? True, a child opening a book for Christmas might not
get you the reaction as the latest toy would. A toy would probably be
the favorite for the duration of the season, but the benefits of
learning Chinese will last a lifetime.
