My First Words is a fun resource for teaching your child their first words in English. Each word in the book is illustrated to help your little one associate it with its meaning, to help them remember it, and to make the learning process interesting and fun. The book contains over 80 words, which are organised into themes, including animals, fruit and vegetables, clothes and colours. These basic yet important words will form an invaluable foundation upon which your child will be able to build as they continue to learn English later in life. Children who learn languages through play at an early age are more likely to succeed in foreign language learning as adults. And that's exactly what My First Words aims to help parents with - enthusing their kids, showing them the exciting world of another language and culture, and opening up a world of opportunities that foreign language education brings. Agnieszka Murdoch, the author of the book and educator with more than 15 years of experience of learning and teaching foreign languages, created My First Words with her own daughter in mind. She needed a resource that would help her introduce her daughter to her first foreign words and to help her embark on the exciting lifelong journey that learning foreign languages brings. Speaking a foreign language is an incredible gift. You can give it to your child by encouraging them to learn some basic English words through play, with My First Words: English. The author is the founder of 5-Minute Language - an online community for language learners, where she shares her tips and advice on how to learn foreign languages effectively and independently. She also runs a popular blog and YouTube channel called 5-Minute Language.
