I would like for us as a family to try to learn Spanish, so I think it would be a good idea to place cards with the english and spanish names on the cooresponding item.

One word at a time. Right now we’re trying to get him talking at all but we’re frequently doing it repetitively- have him repeat something we want him to say word by word so he can try the pronunciation out with us before using it on his own. A lot he does on his own but this has seemed to work well for the polite/niceity phrases.

My grandsons enjoy Dora and Diego so they get some Spanish practice watching them. And the daycare is teaching them too but they could use some extra practice at home with these DVDs.

Speak the target language often. Watch TV and listen to CDs in the target language. Kids pick up languages quickly.

My teen is currently taking spanish and she helps us learn basic words to teach the younger kids basic spanish words so I use a lot of patience and try to use both words when pointing to objects and now it’s like a game

I am a teacher at Head Start where out of 20 kids 10 of them are Hispanic. I also work with a teacher who is Puerto Rican. I have picked up some Spanish from her and from working with such a vast majority of ELL students. At home I work with my 5 year old on small things such as counting, colors, etc. in Spanish. She is also exposed to it in her class where she has ELL students. They are also working on sign language in her class since one of the Hispanic kids is also deaf. I am also a Facebook fan of Boca Beth. I had the honor of seeing her in motion at the Alabama Pre-K Conference this April. She is great!

Star by using everyday word like food, drink, mom & dad. Repeat the word in both english and 2nd language. Then ask them to repeat it.

I’ve been volunteering to teach my son’s preschool class French, using a dvd set from our local library. Even just exposing kids to other languages at this age helps their brain learn them better later on.
19 April 2010, 2:08 pm
I don’t know! NEITHER MY HUSBAND NOR I HAD to learn a 2nd language when we were young. I think it would be GREAT if we learned together!

Make friends who speak other languages and spend lots of time with them. Eat at international restaurants and read the menus. Listen to music and read children’s books in other languages. Combine words and phrases in other languages with your native language as you learn them so they stay in your mind. Associate words in other languages with a picture or object - it’s easier to remember with a picture, not just the translation.

I like to be repetative with the words the children are learning. My 2 year old grandson can count to three in spanish just by being repetative.
Thank you so much for being available to us.

We’ve been practicing our spanish in the car, when the kids are sort of a captive audience.

I think a short practice time almost every day is a good way to teach kids a new language. That won’t overwhelm them, and the daily practice is a constant reinforcement.

23 April 2010, 7:58 pm
We try to do one or two words at a time. We also try to play games putting spanish in it, like candyland counting and naming the colors in spanish. Its fun and reinforces some of the spanish she is learning.

We just ordered the maracas from Beth and the kids love them. We are going to let the kids use them as a small and large group activity to go along with Beths CD’s and DVD. We also ordered Boca and another CD. She is great. The Hispanics love to hear things in their native language. I think it makes them feel impowered to hear it.
