香港細路學英文難關全面拆解
語言關卡
首先講發音同音韻學嘅難題。研究發現好似/θ/（例如"think"）同/ð/（例如"this"）呢類齒擦音最難搞，因為廣東話根本冇呢啲音。好似"chrysanthemum"[krɪˈsænθ.ə.məm]呢啲鬼死咁長嘅生字，小朋友讀到甩轆都未準。仲有英文嘅重音節奏同廣東話嘅平仄完全兩回事，搞到啲細路拍子都跟唔上。
文法方面就更加頭痕。英文要加冠詞、變複數、動詞又要時態，廣東話通通唔使搞呢啲。結果啲細路成日搞亂"he go"定"he goes"，"a apple"定"an apple"。中文句子可以調來調去都得，但英文詞序硬繃繃，寫句嘢好似砌積木咁要就住就住。
生字量多到嚇親人，仲要加埋啲鬼佬慣用語同文化背景。2021年人口普查話88.2%香港人日常講廣東話，真係想浸鹹水都冇機會。研究仲話細路仔缺乏真實語境，學親英文都係書本嘢，搞到學完都唔識用。
社會文化絆腳石
出到街九成人都係講廣東話，人口普查話得5.5%人會用其他方言。學校教完英文落堂就冇得用，啲細路想練都冇機會。文化上又怕瘀怕失威，調查發現好多學生驚講錯俾人笑，結果堂上死都唔肯開口。屋企同社會支援都唔夠力，一個老師要對住幾十人，邊有時間逐個教？
教育政策困局
三語兩文政策搞咗廿幾年，教學安排可能有影響。有d學校硬性規定「用中文教就唔准講英文」，搞到中文中學好似次等公民咁。小學畢業得三成學生入到英文中學，其他七成點算？課堂規矩都唔合時宜，有d研究話中英夾雜教法有效，但尼d情況通常被禁止。
總括嚟講，香港細路學英文要過五關斬六將，由發音、文法到社會環境都係障礙。
兒童英文認字課程
學習模式
學習模式用多維度設計，畀學生一個全面嘅學習體驗。系統可以好順暢咁喺粵語同普通話模式之間切換，等學生揀最適合自己嘅語言環境。對於幼稚園K1到K3嘅學生，學習內容會有齊所有常用英文字嘅詳盡列表，幫佢哋打好基礎；到咗小一（P1）之後，就只會加入新學嘅詞彙，逐步擴大詞彙量。每個詞彙都有英文、普通話同粵語嘅拼音、語音朗讀功能，加上表情符號解釋同例子，豐富理解層次。
測試模式
測試模式會喺詞庫入面隨機揀10個詞彙出嚟考學生，當中有啲可能係未學過嘅。不過唔使驚，可以當係一個挑戰，試吓估答案，培養學習嘅勇氣同樂趣。如果考試成績有80%以上，就會攞到一張可愛嘅證書做獎勵，張張證書都唔一樣，增加學習動力。家長仲可以自己設計其他獎勵，例如連續攞7張證書就畀份大獎，鼓勵小朋友堅持學落去。
遊戲模式
遊戲模式用趣味活動幫學生鞏固記憶，例如翻開摺卡配對，畀學習過程變得生動有趣。為咗加多啲挑戰性，部分遊戲會有鏡像文字，等學生喺玩樂中訓練認知能力，同時加深對英文字嘅印象。呢啲寓教於樂嘅方法唔單止提高學習興趣，仲可以有效強化記憶成果。
