¿Cómo introducir Inglés en casa?

   Everything is in your hands and you decide how you want it to be managed. You decide the time you can dedicate or tools you would like to use. Even just by narrating everyday situations in simple English, it is a very good way to improve your English too!

                                                 

   I prepared for you ⇓20 options⇓ by now, at least one has to work for your family, with no excuses...

1. Share with your kids what you already know, this is the best gift: the knowledge.
2. Even if you do not know enough English, let them help you, let them feel important.
3. Learn from each other, learn on mistakes, look for answers together.
4. Create simple phrases, question-answer that you use a lot daily. It does not have to start with a conversation, adjust English to their skills, for example: "Wake up! Dinner is ready, please come to the kitchen! I am hungry, and you? Please wash your hands" ... 
5. Print them out or write them down, stick to the fridge or have it just in some safe and easy to reach place (If you need help with creating phrases, ask me and I send them to your e-mail).
6. Download to your phone an App: Google Translator for pronunciation or make sure how to write, use it anytime you need.
7. Try do review their homework, ask them to explain or explain to them what needed.
8. Look for resources together, little helpers like dictionaries, Internet etc.
9. It doesn't matter how much time you can dedicate; you just need to guide them, especially at the beginning.
10. It doesn't matter which level you are on; whether you never had experience with English or have it on a daily basis at work.
11. Adapt exercises to your kids' level and interests, let them help you with choices.
12. Invent new games together *Read more in: Games and Activities
13. Flashcards, memory games, apps, online and board games: why do not use basic English words instead? Simple colours, numbers and subject descriptions? Everyone is able to do it! 
14. Associate new vocabulary with specific objects or storybooks. Also by describing things around you, shopping list, while cooking, playing with toys, describing a house *Read more in: My house, my home/ Mi casa, mi hogar.
15. Listen to English music, for kids sometimes just catching melody counts, change the tune.
16. Watch tv and movies in English with English subtitles. They may protest but then you realize how it got naturally to them, so normal. And they will understand it all briefly.
17. Start from known movies, having to put less effort to know what's going on will be easier to swap *Read more in: Enlaces útiles para practicar el Inglés 'gratis'.
18. Invite friends that would enjoy those English Activities (for example group songs singing and dancing), participating with more will help, as a new duty is not just directed to them.
19. You can set the goals, establish routine or just add new words and sentences every day- you know the best what is better for your family.
20. Be an example, kids are smart enough to see if an effort is coming from both sides.

   I wish these little hints will help you to begin, which is the most important, creating an English environment progressively. Then just enjoy new things you learn together and look for results.
