Blog: Resources & Ideas

Early development, language learning, and other words...

I participate regularly in #EarlyYearsHour on Twitter - it's great for networking and practice-sharing: I even won an award for my contribution. Through these regular chats I came across Deborah from Bambolango. This fantastic company provides really skillful language learning opportunities and resources for children and their grown-ups. It was an absolute privilege to be able to write a guest blog for them this week.

In it, I reflect on my own language experiences, my sons' experiences of learning Spanish through their preschool and how their stage of brain development and, for one of my twins, how a hearing impairment, impacted on being able to speak and understand another language.

​I still recall vividly my A Level French exam - I was totally unable to answer any questions due to a complete disconnect between the way I'd been taught and the way the exam was phrased. To cope with my despair, I wrote notes to the examiner instead including - in immaculate French - "I have the honour of presenting you with this mostly dead chipmunk." There was an accompanying illustration too...#oddkid
