Learn a language with children’s songs on YouTube

Can you learn a language with children’s songs on YouTube?

Yes, if you are a child. It will help if you expose your child to sounds of different languages starting from age zero to two years old. In fact, parents that say at seven they will start their child with Spanish lessons for example, well, its already too late. Youtube can help your baby and child learn a language. Yes babies can learn from YouTube videos. I think songs are the best.

A child learns sound variations and prunes brain cells until the age of about two years old. So if you want your child to speak a language like a native, expose them to YouTube and other sounds at a very young age. Forget savior Harvard and Yale teach them languages before the age of five. This will open up a child’s brain more than any stupid hundred thousand dollar sheep skin degree. If you can stay home with your kids and help them yourself, it is more important that being a VIP at work.

Can adults learn a language from YouTube like children

Adults need structure to learn. YouTube is chaos, maybe a few basic vocabulary words and phrases. The best thing on YouTube are songs. This can help but it still does not give you the structure you need for grammar. I am a big believer that adult brains function different than children’s brains. Adults need grammatical structure. Children need simply exposure to sounds. Therefore, yes YouTube can help adults learn a language but YouTube helps children better.

How to teach your child a language with YouTube

You need to be proactive in the videos you want. After they sit there for a while and decided what their favorite videos are, and they will decide even at one years old, then you can start to be proactive. Proactive in teaching means asking question during some but not all of the videos and latter relating what your child saw the on the video to something in real life.

If they learn the word ‘cow’ on a children’s song video, then while you are reading them a book with farm animals as them which one is the cow. Or on a blackboard or drawing board, draw a picture of a cow.

This can all be done from age one to age two mind you, not age ten, at age ten it is too late to learn a foreign language like a native.

I also recommend considering a tutor. A trusted baby sitter who might speak another language.

Best children’s educational videos for language and life on YouTube

I recommend CullensABCs, these are for learning English. Cullen’s ABC are the best videos on the web for educating your children about life. There are many others that are good also. For example, Eric Herman or another group are the Wiggles. If you looking for children’s vidoes on YouTube these are the best.
