Im'a teacher in the Netherlands. i teach children with an age of 7/8. ou're school wants to start to learn the children to learn english from the age of 4 instead of 10. Because the brains of young children devellop verry fast and are more cappable of learning a 2nd language then older children. They learn the words not by translation but by integration in the way of living. (i hope this artike makes any sense.)

I'm a teacher in the Netherlands. I teach children with an age of ages 7 to 8. Our school wants to start to learn teach the children to learn english from the age of 4 instead of 10, because the brains of young children develop very fast and are more capable of learning a 2nd language than older children. They learn the words not by translation but by integration in the way of living*. (I hope this article** makes any sense.)
Except for "I hope this article makes any sense," (it must be said "I hope this article makes sense,") fdmaxey's corrections are all right, if mine are different it's just an alternate way of saying something.
* This is understandable, but not something a native speaker would say. A more natural sounding option would be "integration in day to day life,"
** This is also understandable, but doesn't sound quite right to a native speaker. "Article" implies a longer, more technical or professional writing. It isn't perfect, but you could say "writing" or "journal entry" or just "I hope this makes sense."
Very good! Most of the mistakes are just spelling mistakes, if you have spellcheck for English that will help. Keep it up! :)

[It makes perfect sense. Some of the phrases are logical, but not normal-sounding. A teacher teaches and a student learns. We don't teach someone to learn a language, but just teach someone a language. If you teach someone to learn, you would be teaching them learning techniques. This is minor, however.]
