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!!

THE LOVE OF BOOKS AND THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Rachel Lechner

So you’ve just read the title and thought, „Well those things are completely different!”, but are they? 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.

#WhinnyWednesday Working together—mum, daughter #WhinnyWednesday

Working together—mum, daughter, and pony—with kindness, curiosity, and a lot of languages.

Emily and Gypsy are just starting out on their clicker/horse agility journey, and this short 'training' session includes so much:

 Clear communication (sometimes in English, sometimes in German -got to get that bilingual learning in 😉)

 Learning side by side.

 Building trust through positive reinforcement—for both humans and horses.

We’re definitely not aiming for perfection, but more of a connection. One cue, one giggle, one “brav" at a time.

Language learning isn’t just for schoolbooks!

#multilingualmonday 5 Phrases for Calmness – Fo #multilingualmonday

5 Phrases for Calmness – For humans and ponies.

A calm connection can be communicated—gently, consistently and bilingually.

Here are 5 phrases I say softly in both English and German, to build trust and slow the moment down—for both of us, as I get stressed to sometimes!!

breathe – atmen

It's okay – Alles gut

Slow down – Langsam

I'm here /I'm with you – Ich bin bei dir

Good boy/girl – brave junge/ braves mädchen

Don't forget language also creates a type of energy,  that can be conveyed to both people and ponies😊

Which phrase speaks to you most today?
