    Young Master Communication student, English is my second mother tongue. From my own experience, I find that the sooner a child is confronted with a language and the easier it is to use it as an adult. Having grown up in a family of 5 children, I am the only one who has accepted since the CP to be sent every year to my family abroad for vacation, Great Britain, Ireland, Switzerland and North America. As a result, I assimilated the basics of the language very early and when I entered 6th grade I already spoke very good English, unlike my brothers who are still struggling today despite the fact that their parents are bilingual. The fact is that they never really assimilated these bases because they always had the choice between French and English to express themselves. I'm not saying that we have to force children to speak English but rather to help the child to excel himself to be understood. I assume that a child who is certain that you do not understand what he says will always find a way to communicate with you. My learning of the language goes mainly through play, music, cinema but also reading, in short all that children have always used to see and hear or do in French. The goal is to expose the child as much as possible to the language so that he can record the different sounds and push him to guess the meaning of words based on what they already know in French. An example that works well for little girls, listening to and singing Disney songs in French and English. At first, teach them the basics, then give them all the tools they need to express themselves and finally slowly bring them to gain confidence in their linguistic capacity so that they can surpass themselves and start, for example tell his day. To help children in their learning I suggest to parents to buy once a month bought a cartoon (for vocabulary) in English, a rhyme (for pronunciation) in English and an illustrated book (for spelling). I recommend 2 lessons per week for real effectiveness, with a different pace depending on the age of the child, 2x1h on 2 days from Kindergarten to CP and 2h at a time from CE1 to CM2.
