In Vietnam, every student must learn English as a compulsory subject at school. However, in school, teachers focus grammar, vocabulary and writing exam. Students aren't practiced listening, speaking or discussing.

Moreover, knowledge of textbooks is old, not edited. The program is too grammatical, making them become "mobile grammatical books".

Even the students learn English as the major, the entrance examination English very high. However, the listening skills of many freshmen are still poor.

Many students learn to get a high grade, not use English in life. Therefore, many students in the 12th grade meet with foreign visitors asking for directions but they can't help.

Teachers pronounce poorly

Teachers' level is also the main reason for weak teaching and learning English in the school.

With a common English learning environment, I have to improve speaking skills for my kids right at home

Here I would like to share my experience learned from a successful mother. She is a farmer, living in a peaceful village and has no any ideas of English. But she studied with her kid at home to learn English. Now her child can speak it fluently with foreigners

This way is to create a language environment for kids.

The question is, "How can the kids remember so much vocabulary?"

Since her kid started listening to English, she has to listen to every day, every time (when learning, eating, playing, etc.)

Her memory is an unconscious repetition, especially when she listens to movies, videos in English.

Vocabularies will automatically infiltrate her brain. They were recorded in her brain, too. When she meets a suitable environment. the natural reflex will pop out.

She always encourages kid see what she likes in English. She watches a lot. And one more important thing is that shouldn't limit the listening of kid. Listening as much as possible.

Reading English everyday

Regular reading every day, the kid will be exposed to many kinds of sentences. Reading skills play a crucial role in the accumulation of information and vocabulary in the young brain.

Children have sufficient knowledge to reflect on their speaking and writing skills.

Therefore, listening and reading should be maintained daily, as much as possible in order to get enough knowledge to speak out.

At first, she often asked her kid to tell the story that she just read to her mother in English.

When she feels the reading is good, she thinks about giving the kid an opportunity to communicate in English but it is too difficult for her when she lives in a poor village.

And she was thinking of taking the kid to the resort that's far 12km from the house. Because there are many foreigners there.

It is a two-year effort to work as a free guide for foreigners. This work gives them lots of fun and interesting things to do.

She studies with her kids in patience and hard work. The ability to speak foreign languages ​​is not a prodigy or talent but simply determined by the habit of daily routine and create the environment for children.
