Confidence is key when it comes to learning a new language. Many children in Bangladesh can read and write English, but they often feel shy or afraid to speak. At Liakat’s Kids, we often hear parents ask:
“My child understands English but does not talk. How can I help?”
In this blog, we will share practical and easy ways to help your child feel more confident while speaking English. These tips are ideal for parents in Dhaka and throughout Bangladesh who want their children to speak English confidently and fearlessly.
🎯 Why English Confidence Is Important
English confidence means your child is
- 💬 Not afraid to speak in front of others
- 😊 Comfortable making small mistakes
- 🎓 More ready for school, jobs, and the future
- 🌎 Able to talk with people from different countries
Confidence grows slowly—but with support, your child will become a strong English speaker.
✅ 1. Start Small and Make It Fun
Do not ask your child to speak significant sentences at once. Start with small words and short sentences like:
- “I am fine.”
- “This is a cat.”
- “My name is Rafi.”
🎲 Use games, toys, or flashcards to make learning feel like playtime.
➡️ Tip: Watch our simple spoken English lessons on Liakat’s Kids YouTube Channel—made especially for Bangladeshi kids.
✅ 2. Speak English Daily—Just a Little
Use English for simple things at home, like
- Saying “Good morning” and “Thank you.”
- Naming fruits, colors, and clothes
- Asking, “What is this?” and “How are you?”
🕒 Even 10 minutes a day helps build strong speaking habits.
✅ 3. Praise Every Effort—Not Just Perfection
Children feel proud when you say:
- “Great job!”
- “I love how you tried.”
- “Do not worry; let us try again.”
👨👩👧 Celebrate small wins like learning one new word or saying one sentence clearly. This boosts their self-confidence.
✅ 4. Create a Safe Space for Mistakes
Children learn by trying and making mistakes. Never laugh or scold if they say:
- ❌ “He has two apples.”
- ❌ “I go to school.”
✅ Instead, gently say the correct version:
“He has two apples.” or “I went to school.”
📌 Confidence grows when kids feel safe and accepted.
✅ 5. Learn With Them—Be Their English Partner
Join your child in learning. You do not need to be perfect. Say:
- “Let us learn together!”
- “What new word did you learn today?”
- “Can you teach me this sentence?”
👪 When you show interest, your child becomes more interested, too.
✅ 6. Use English Stories, Videos & Rhymes
Children learn fast through hearing and watching. Try:
- 📚 Simple English storybooks
- 🎥 Fun learning videos from Liakat’s Kids
- 🎶 Action songs like “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes”
🧠 Listening builds speaking confidence naturally.
✅ 7. Practice Conversations at Home
Make small dialogues with your child:
👩👦 Example:
Parent: “What is your name?”
Child: “My name is Sara.”
Parent: “How old are you?”
Child: “I am six.”
🗣 Repeating these conversations daily helps your child speak clearly and without fear.
✅ 8. Enroll in a Child-Friendly English Course
Sometimes, children learn more effectively in a structured yet fun environment.
