What's to be a young learner?

^{What's to be a young learner?}

^{Young learners are those who want to learn another language.}

^{What does it mean? It means that they are going to learn a foreign language or a second language. That implicates that they need to do their best in order to learn it ;otherwise,they will not learn. Children are young learners, but they learn in a different way than adults do. If you want them to learn, you need to be as much dynamic as you can; otherwise, they might lose concentration or their affective filter is going to be high, it means that learning will not take place. To teach children is something out of this world it is something that you will never forget it.}

^{My children were and still are good students; I really love them because everytime I asked them  to participate,I got more than one kid. That was something really amazing. All of them wanted to participate all the time, and I love that. My teaching practice helped me to learn a lot,to deal with children,to manage them,to control them,to create good strategies to catch their attention, and to gain experience. When I taught my first class,I was so nervous but later they helped to break the ice because they were asking me some funny questions ,and that made me laugh. Whatever activity I brought to them, they were always with a good face, and they interesting to did it. When I taught them the colors, I asked them to repeate the colors that I was teaching to them, all of them repeated and it was like a song haha because all of them repeated at the same time. When I showed them the blue color, a kid told me that he knew because of a movie that he had already watched, and I was very surprised. The most interesting thing was that some of them had already known the colors in English and, I was very happy for them. And also,with that teaching practice I  noticed that children learn in a very fast way,if they like what they are doing, they learn things quickly.}
