 | Show Barney to little kids. I have nephews and they are all very fluent in English and they can't actually understand our native language. Since they were little, they were always exposed to the Barney show and Magic English. These actually taught them how to communicate. Everyone in the house are told to always speak english to our nephews and thus, this made them very fluent in English. Why don't you try this out with your students? |

| Re: Show Barney to little kids. It's all very good in theory but very hard to achieve if the kids have only 1 lesson a week. Just wont cut the cheese if you know what I'm saying. Your nephews, are they native English speakers? That could explain why they are fluent in English...  |

| Re: Show Barney to little kids. If you have read my post well enough then you would know that we are not native english speakers. We are asians. If they are native english speakers then why on earth would I still make this thread? |

| Re: Show Barney to little kids. I use Barney and many other children educational video's to teach english, even in adult calsses. i think it really makes it easy for them to learn, since it is in a broken down and easy to learn form. |
