It won't be long from now, children in our place as young as one year old communicates with us in English dialect.This is because of the TV channels influence like Disney Jr. and Nick Jr.Toddlers nowadays finds it easy for them to talk straight and understand the language.My two younger sisters aged seven years old and four years old now, communicate in English dialect.I find it amazing though because at home, all of us communicate in our native dialect.Only the two of them speak English.So for them to understand us also, I tried to talk to them also using the English language.In trying so, I find the language easy to speak but of course, learning it from school is quite never easy.I started from scratches, little by little, I'm learning to use correct grammars.It's good that our school adopt English language as mother tongue.In this way, we can express ourselves and communicate in English dialect just like my two younger sisters do.English is not hard to learn after all, we just have to enjoy it and not be afraid of getting us corrected.

Nawal,
I could still remember you encoded this blog as I watched you posted it! I said it was a success and you were happy..I think more than that. As proud teacher as I am I know that your meekness rose my curiosity whenever we study English at school. In this point of interaction, I love seeing you interacting with other people around the world perfect English grammar usage or not as long as you tried and you applied it but of course understandable not misleading. Love it and I am proud ,why? Not all people have this an opportunity to explore and linked in to the world of world Englishes. I am pretty excited! By the way...congratulations!!Bog bless you and keep it up! mamyoyi
But it should be considered that they are children and the amount and speed of learning in them are different with higher age. Interesting blog, thanks for sharing.
Kamusta Nawal Marhanie Rasuman sana ikaw mabuti! English is easy to learn for those young fellows. Could I be one of your friends?
Hi Nawal,
I like the last sentence that it wrote 'we have to enjoy it and not be afraid ...." I agree with you. Mistakes that we made is a proof that we learned.
I have the good sentences that I wanna share here "we can do something that we thought it is difficult because we are accustomed to do that"
Anyway thanks for sharing your spirit :)
My 3 years old nephew also speaks in English. This is maybe because he watches all programmes in English. Therefore, all of us have to speak to him in English. Sometimes I am amazed with his English vocabulary.
Very encouraging for the learners. Thanks for sharing.
