You can try to engage your child in watching short English cartoons together,\u00a0 for example \u201cBluey\u201d or \u201cPeppa Pig\u201d or \u201cPower Rangers\u201d depending on their age. You can listen to English songs together in the car, if it\u2019s from a cartoon soundtrack even better, that way they can relate the movie to the song easily. You can play simple games in English like \u201cUno\u201d or \u201cTwister\u201d and obviously read some short stories or comics in English before bedtime like \u201cRapunzel\u201d or \u201cSpider-Man\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children learn by listening, repeating, and enjoying the language.
