What can you do? 1. First answer this question: Which language do you feel the most comfortable speaking? This is the language you should speak with your child. 2. Don’t mix languages, even if this is difficult. 3. As soon as possible after birth, let your child play with other children as often as possible. This will help your child learn German faster. What is particularly good? Begin talking to your child immediately after birth only in the language that you feel most comfortable with and that you speak proficiently. If this is not German, your child will learn to speak German at day-care. Enrol your child in day-care and regularly undertake activities with your child at home and outdoors: playing, visiting others, or going to the theatre or a museum. Each family member should speak only one language with the child. For example: Mum only speaks German with the child and dad only Russian, or the parents only speak German and the grandparents only Turkish, or if both parents let’s say come from Spain, everyone speaks German away from home (e. g. at day-care, school, or on the playground) and only Spanish at home. Finish every sentence in the language in which the sentence was started. Talk about different things, tell stories, sing songs, read rimes and fairy tales, and look at picture books together. Correct your child using open questions. For example: Your child says, ”I swimming yesterday.” You should ask, ”Where did you go swimming yesterday?” This way your child hears the correct sentence structure. … 28 …
What is not as good? Speaking German with your child if your German is riddled with mistakes. Not speaking to your child very much or only speaking in a baby language. Starting a sentence in one language and ending it in another. Speaking to your child sometimes in one language and then at other times in another language. Directly correcting your child. For example: Your child says, ”I swimming yesterday.” And you respond, ”it’s, I went swimming yesterday.” Or requiring your child to repeat after you: ”Say – I went swimming yesterday!” Letting your child watch television for hours hoping that he or she will learn the language. A child will not learn a language sitting in front of the television. This is something completely different when you watch a children’s programme together with your child and talk about it afterwards with him or her.
