Very small children learn their mother tongue purely through saturation - they have no formal lessons in how to communicate their wants and needs.
When children develop an awareness of languages and other cultures, this will enable them to become aware of their position as 'world citizens' later on in life, as well as giving them more of a choice and more opportunities when it comes to choosing a career.
As well as going on foreign holidays, there are many other things that you can do to raise children's awareness of foreign languages and the culture of different countries.
Encourage your children to be aware of languages and other countries as early as possible in their lives.
