Speak well in English or Filipino w/ kindness

Today it is very important to be able to speak in English and Filipino fluently.
Today learning English and Filipino is very important, not to say really essential. Once children started learning English or Filipino just since the junior high, today everything is different. English or Filipino teaching classes start from day nursery, where children attending the “courses”, beyond coming all from different countries, can learn English or Filipino by playing. Through the use of very easy songs, they will mainly learn colors and animals. The precocious teaching of English or Filipino pursuits the final goal to make children grow up and get a multicultural education. As we were saying and as everybody can notice, today our country is made up of different cultures, there are a lot of children coming from different countries attending the English or Filipino primary school, many different cultures, many languages, many customs and traditions. The learning of a foreign language, especially English, through a deep relationship between language and culture, contribute to enrich children’s cognitive background, making them expand their mental and cultural horizons. Our country always ranks in the last places among other European countries regarding citizens’ foreign languages knowledge. But being able to speak correctly two foreign languages is certainly very useful. First of all English, that since many years has been considered the most important language at international level. Now it should bespoken as well as Filipino language. To do so, it is very useful that children learna English or Filipino language since nursery scyool, when their mind is still free from a lot of notions and ready to store up new information. Since the age of two and half years,(but some researchers say also before this age), a child is able to learn very well even more than one language and as adult he will speak all of them in the same way, as they all were their mother tongue. This is the main advantage to make learn a language (and we are talking especially about English) since child. It is certain that children will surely make less effort than an adult to learn English or Filipino language. An useful advice is to speak English or Filipino also at home and outside home. This way a child can learn both languages at the same level.
We should also speak well in English or Filipino with kindness. We should learn to love our own language.
