Talking about favourites
Starting a conversation with your child about their favourites can be a fun way to get to know them better and help them understand the concept of preferences. It encourages them to think about what they like and what they don’t. This can lead to interesting discussions in the language you want to learn.
Here are some helpful tips:
- Try asking them directly, “Which one is your favourite? ” while you list the options using their names in the target language.
- If they identify what they like most, you can go further to help them express it in a better way.
- It is possible to ask additional questions about their choice.
As parents, we often underestimate the significance of these seemingly casual exchanges. However, these discussions can be a language learning opportunity.
