How children learn languages

Children learn by:

• Having more opportunities to be exposed to the second language
• Making associations between words, languages, or sentence patterns and putting things into clear, relatable contexts
• Using all their senses and getting fully involved; by observing and copying, doing things, watching and listening
• Exploring, experimenting, making mistakes and checking their understanding
• Repetition and feeling a sense of confidence when they have established routines
• Being motivated, particularly when their peers are also speaking/learning other languages
