Just like with any other language, teaching children English, a non-native language, requires a mix of different approaches.

But don’t forget to include English poems as part of the learning process. The next poem Mytour introduces is 'Mommy', which helps kids learn more vocabulary.

A boat, a ball, a train, a truck.
Look at all the toys.
Please, Mommy! Please, Mommy!
I want a boat.
Oh, I want a boat.
I want a boat.
Please, Mommy! Please, Mommy!
I want a boat.

Chào Pingu! Nhìn kìa, Pingu – đồ chơi, đồ chơi, đồ chơi!
Một chiếc thuyền, một quả bóng, một chiếc xe lửa, một chiếc xe tải.
Nhìn vào tất cả các đồ chơi.
Làm ơn đi, Mommy! Làm ơn đi, Mommy!
Con muốn một chiếc thuyền.
Ồ, con muốn một chiếc thuyền.
Con muốn một chiếc thuyền.

With its simple yet powerful language and diverse vocabulary, the poem 'Teachers' is a perfect choice for young learners.

Inspired by the poem 'Nghe thầy đọc thơ' by poet Trần Đăng Khoa, 'Teachers' brings a fresh, creative approach that makes it easy for children to memorize and understand its deeper meaning. It also serves as a means for children to express their love and respect for their teachers at school.

I listen to teachers every day
Green poetry sunny green tree home
The rowdy river is far away
As quiet as her old voice
Listen to the moon moving coconut boat
The fence blows the rain from the sky
Where are you tonight?
Missing you, I sit quietly and listen…

Vietnamese Translation:
Em nghe thầy đọc bao ngày
Tiếng thơ đỏ nắng, xanh cây quanh nhà
Mái chèo nghiêng mặt sông xa
Bâng khuâng nghe vọng tiếng bà năm xưa
Nghe trăng thở động tàu dừa
Rào rào nghe chuyển cơn mưa giữa trời…
Đêm nay thầy ở đâu rồi
Nhớ thầy, em lại lặng ngồi em nghe…
