LEARNING LANGUAGES THROUGH NATURE

It has been researched and proven time and time again that children learn more quickly with the use of play and the great outdoors.

In an outdoor environment children are more inquisitive, adventurous and more likely to observe and ask questions. This builds the perfect setting for learning a new language.

On the Outdoor Bilingual Learner Blog we want to be able for you to collect ideas and for us to coach, advise and get you and your family ready to start your ‘LANGUAGE LEARNING JOURNEY’ using nature and the great outdoors.

ENJOY YOUR NEW LANGUAGE LEARNING OUTDOOR ADVENTURES!!

Rachel Lechner

I hear adults all the time talking about how their child does not like reading or books in general, or that their child always wants to stay indoors.  Children are great imitators and from a very young age they start out in life imitating us, their parents.
