Description

Junior is a 14 month old Spanish boy and he already understands English quite well. His parents are both Spanish, but his father speaks to him in English all the time. See? kids don't need to study, they just need to listen (and adults can learn a lot just by listening too).

He's the son of my friend. Isn't he cute? (the baby, I mean) ;-)

And one year later here he is, speaking both English and Spanish. Watch him here: Junior -part 2.

A marvelous child. An Interesting precocious stimulation, and specially for English learning. What happy parents with their son! I think we just need to listen very much in English.
