Abstract
Kindergarten children are creative, resourceful, and imaginative. During the kindergarten years, the children’s perceptual skills can be sharpened by encouraging them to observe specific aspects of their environment. In line with the need of English as the international and the most spoken language, English subject is being taught to students from elementary to university level, or even to kindergarten. The consideration is that English should be taught very early as the students will easily absorb the English materials later on. However, kindergarten teachers in Indonesia are actually not the experts of the field. There are still limited graduated teachers majoring in kindergarten or early childhood education department. Promoting an effective learning can only be well done by teachers who are qualified enough. In addition, there is no best method in teaching such a foreign language to these young students. To sum up, teaching a foreign language to very young students who are living in and accustomed to the first language is a challenging task for the kindergarten teachers.

Summary
The global development is signed due to the improvement of facilities and infrastructures. There seem to be great similarities in all human societies in the sequence of language development as children progressively master the rules of sounds (phonology), of meaning (semantics), and of grammar (syntax), and learn to combine words, in which are acceptable and understandable (pragmatics) within their linguistic community. These errors are a phase called “logical errors” These are examples of words produced by a 26 months baby boy, Algo who is a student of a playgroup of TK Riyadul Jannah Simo, “Mama ais napa?” The child who speaks English as his first language learns errors in his speech He will have acquired the basic grammar system needed for everyday communication. The learning is done naturally as they perceive the learning in an unconscious manner (like the acquisition process)
