Children can experience language in myriad ways by using the surroundings they live in. To make learning more enjoyable and experiential, the outdoors can be frequently used. Encouraging students to explore and observe their surroundings on their own is a great way to teach a second language because children love spending time in nature and thereby learn faster.
