RANT: "A BABY is still a BABY!!!"

Oh my goodness, thats hilarious? How did she know it was a thai in the first place? Hahaha yah, baby should not study english online.

Wow that must have been so cute to see the little one in front of the screen though. I would think it would be very hard to teach them that young. I think it would be good if she teaches them what she knows on her own until she is a little older. She might be a very smart child so the mom may want to teach her earlier.

She's nuts. that's all i can describe her! a freaking two year old! She's not a robot what the heck she thinking!

Some people are way too ambitious for their children. That little girl is too young to start a second language online.

In the United States we unfortunately don't focus as much on learning second languages. But then we do speak English which is really sort of a universal language. If one can speak English, no matter what country they are from, they tend to have better prospects in life for whatever reason.

Most kids pick up the language if you speak another language around them.

It will be just fun for her just like Spanish is for Sophie our little munchkin. Really it should be a kind of game for her and wishing you good luck just take it in your stride.

Oh my! How can you teach a two year old when she can't even utter a word or two. Why did you say it's a free lesson? She didn't pay you for your effort and time?

Ambition at its worst, the child is way too young for online learning. We speak a few languages, our children pick them up naturally at a very young age (Around two) .. . We haven't taught them really, they learn from observation and experience at this age.

Knowing a second language is good but teaching a two-year-old child is nonsense. A two-year-old child can learn two languages if the parents speak different languages. But then there is no 'teaching'.The learning comes naturally. One can only pity the child you met on the net.

A child of that age is way too young to be taught English online. Sigh.....

i believe... that kids should be taught first at home rather than teachers in the institution. it is not a reason to be employed that one does not teach her child the basics of learning

I think parents would be apt,the kid is so pretty

@Shavkat She is too little to learn anything I would say. I think when the child is old enough to understand words and speak a sentence then they could be taught a 2nd language.

She is too young however it will be okay if the parents will follow through.

The mother should be the one teaching her child; virtual classroom is not for her yet.

Honestly... I'm gonna side with both you and the mother on this. In doing studies on children picking up other languages, its best if the child learns it before the age of six. The reason being is, as they grow and their brains develop, they are building little connections when they hear other languages. So later in life, when an adult, its actually easier for them to learn the whole language because the brain had already started building a road map in that direction as a child. This is why, I gladly play music from other cultures in other languages to my kids as babies on up. I don't have to understand the words. The kids don't have to understand them. But hearing it, actually helps learn the sounds and flavor of the language. So, to answer your questions.... Yes, the parent should be teaching the child at that age, but not in a typical method you'd think concerning sitting in a class room approach. Play a movie with another language turned on, music in another language, etc, are sufficient as a basic background noise to learn from. Kids don't need to learn a second language, but its probably to their advantage if they do. My kids know a number of words in a few different languages. I hope as they get older, they can expand on that if they so wish.
