Dear Colleagues / Friends / Partners:
I am working on the curse English for Sasha and Masha (English for Kids).
The idea of the course was given by parents who wanted to help their kids desperately with learning English but who had not learnt English (or knew it a little or forgot it).
They asked me to record some comments to the books I used for teaching as those nice books had no any notes in Russian.
When I did it I realized that there was a dilemma especially at kids’ lowest levels of English. When you want to take a text book written by a native teacher with a lot of songs, rhymes, native speakers’ language you still need some aid in Russian to speed the process and to bring support for better and quicker understanding.
I think it is obvious and natural. Nothing is universal. What seems red to Russian eyes might be slightly different color in Japanese understanding of colors.
I would appreciate your ideas regarding the course.
Thank you,
Alexander Mayorov Less
