The summer holidays are here! But will your child's English be taking a "holiday" too?
A common concern among many of our parents is: "Will my child forget the English they learned at school over the summer?" You are right to ask: language is like a muscle; when it is not used, it weakens and starts to fade. But there is a very simple, golden rule to prevent this: consistency!
Rather than studying at a desk for hours once a week, short and enjoyable contact of just 15–20 minutes every day is more than enough to keep the language alive.
So how can you make the most of these 15–20 minutes? Here are a few practical suggestions:
📺 Cartoons: Let your child watch their favourite cartoons in English rather than Turkish.
📱 Digital Devices: Switch the language settings on their tablet or computer to English; they will pick up new words without even noticing.
🎮 Educational Games: Encourage them to spend their screen time on educational games where they can practise English.
Our main goal is for our children to keep their connection with the language and for English to remain an enjoyable habit in their lives. ✨
