My son started his way to English some months ago. I don't make him study something every day. I don't make any timetable for him. Our studying are games and pieces of life, where he can see real examples.
For example, we made a paper rainbow, and it was a nice start for studying English colours.
I adore using cards when I need to remember something new, and I use them now when I teach my son. We always make cards for everything, and it works fine!
So we made our handmade cards with colours.
He can't read in English for now, but I still write both words in English and in Russian to let his eyes see English words.
Then we tried some easy games to remember colours better.
At first, I asked my son to bring some objects of this colour and every time he had to pronounce the colour.
And then we just take one colour after another and look for objects of this colour around us. At home, and then in the street when we went for a walk.
And again every time he had to say: "It's black", "It's green".
As a result, he repeated them for dozens of times and remembered them fast;)
And one more our rule - I try to involve new topics he has learned in life all the time.
So when we are in the shop, in the park, in the bus, anywhere I can ask him: "What is it? What colour is it?", and he tries to take necessary words out of his memory and replies me.
Lessons only at home with a book on a table are so boring, and so non-effective. But when we combine real life and things we've learned, it works fantastic.
My stuyding of Enlgish was very boring, so I try to change the strategy with my son now.
