Many years passed since the idea to write a book teaching English to kids andparents came to my mind and now I want to share it with you.I started my career as a teacher at school, teaching English to children in a secondaryschool and found out, that it was too late to start teaching a foreign language to thekids of age 11-12 years old. The linguistic ability to grasp languages at this age wasdeclining and we, as teachers, were simply wasting our efforts: it was hard for thechildren to master a new language and it was hard for the teacher to make them learnit.The learning process became painful and in most cases unsuccessful.The natural way out of this precarious situation was to start teaching English asearly as possible, when kids can start learning with no effort, when new words areremembered in no time and speech in a foreign language comes as easy as the motherlanguage.So I started experimenting with the kid’s age at which learning a foreign languagecan be done most easy and in a favorable way. My approach was different from justdeveloping the bilingual kids. When developing a bilingual child one should speakwith a child in both languages. Usually two parents can do this effortlessly by speakingwith a child in two languages simultaneously and then a child can speak both languages.But who in my country at this time, the former USSR, could speak English at home toa child?
