HOW do CHILDREN LEARN their NATIVE LANGUAGE so easily??

I speak 5 languages fluently. 
I did NOT sit down to learn grammar and vocabulary.
Neither did you when you learnt your native language as a baby.
YOU LISTENED and REPEATED what you heard around you.
I did NOT translate from one language to another.
Neither did you when you learnt your native language as a baby
YOU LISTENED and ASSOCIATED the language with everything around you
I did NOT learn complicated rules.
Neither did you when you learnt your native language as a baby
YOU LISTENED and LEARNT complicated STRUCTURES IN CONTEXT.
YOU LEARNT your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation BY LISTENING and ABSORBING THE LANGUAGE AROUND YOU.
YOU ABSORBED THE complicated GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURES IN CONTEXT.
YOU PRACTISED by REPEATING, by TRIAL and ERROR.
YOUR PRONUNCIATION and FLUENCY IMPROVED with REGULAR, DAILY PRACTICE.
It was not boring.
It was a challenge.
It was exciting when you managed to say your first complete sentence as a 2 year old child.
Everyone was very proud of you.
This is how I learnt my 5 languages.
Fully immersed in regular daily practice like a child.
No boring difficult written exercises.
Reading and writing came much later - when I COULD ALREADY SPEAK the languages.
Just like when you were a child.
You looked forward to learning how to read and write.
This is how you should learn a foreign language.
Just like you learnt your own native language.
Just like when you were a baby.
 
Become CONFIDENT in ENGLISH in just 10 minutes a day.
Practice whilst DRIVING YOUR CAR, while you are COOKING or doing HOUSEHOLD CHORES.

    My name is Susan Brodar, born in London into a multilingual family and brought up bilingual English / Italian.

    I went to school in London until 15 when we moved to Germany where I finished my British education at Munich International School. I started teaching Italian at evening classes aged only 17 and studied Mass Communications and Journalism at Munich University.

    I continued teaching parallel to interpreting at trade fairs and business meetings as well doing translations. After working at the Italian Institute for Foreign Trade for a year I married my Italian globetrotting companion in 1983 and we set up our home near Venice, Italy where we continue to live with our two teenaged children.

    Having taken my British High School-leaving ‘A’ Level exams in English, Italian, French & German I am completely fluent in all four languages and am taking a DELE certification in Spanish to complement them.
