Enroll her in an exclusive english language speaking school. Provide her a lot of english books to read and the most important is all the member in the family should practice to converse in english regularly, you talk to one another in english.

Please Suman76, keep calm, try to be calm, the English language is very important nowadays, but there are more important things. Are you really sure that if she will grasp the Hindi language she will never learn the English language too? But where is your daughter born, in India or in England? So, to me, first of all she has to learn her motherlanguage, never forget our mother, and then she will learn English, why do you think that she can't learn both the languages? So, start to teach her both the languages, your daughter is a smart baby, so don't worry.

If you want your child to learn English, you must talk to him in English and let him watch English programs. He will learn it eventually as he grows up even you are not an English speaking environment. Hope it works for your child coz it's working with mine. Good luck :-)

My son is 3 years old and he is not so fluent too in english but I let him watch some educational rhyme in english and also some movies animated which is enlish too. If she get used to listened english words then she will be familiar with it, maybe you have to allot time to teach her some basic english that is easy to learn at first and then little by little introduce to her all english grammar. hope this will be of help..

Hey u. seem to be more than concerned about your small one. ya English is a must these days but don't forget about Hindi(our mother tongue) too. Your child must know both these languages. For letting her speak English from an adolescence age, she must get the environment and her basics right. Charity begins at home. So it must be you to teach your child her first lesson of English. Then get her in some good school and rest will be well n good.
