How to Teach a Child The Spanish language

01/11/2010 9:13

There are a few tips you can follow if you are planning on teaching your child to speak and learn the Spanish language. The key if to be persistent when teaching so they get used to having this information presented to them.

Teaching a child is better done when they are at a young age. Even teaching them as early as two years old. Children at this age have the ability to retain a lot more information than we give them credit for. Just as they learn English, a child at this age can pick up on other language as well.

Simple is better. Don’t start out a lesson plan with difficult words or phrases. Ease into the teaching them with small words such as cat or color words like red. If they have already learned these words in English, it will be easier for them to translate it into Spanish. Graphical flashcards are a great way to enforce this learning technique. A picture of a cat, with the Spanish word on the back will help them to correlate the picture with the word.

Speaking the language as part of you everyday routine will help ingrain the language into your child’s brain. If they hear you referring to something in Spanish, they will pick up on that and learn the word you are referring to in turn.

Purchase learning tools or go online to the various websites that cater to young children learning a language. The more interactive the site, the better. If the site engages the child in games and activities while teaching the language they will be more likely to stay interested and want to learn more.

Label the items around your house that you child uses on a daily basis with the Spanish word for the item. Using post-it notes, write the Spanish word and place it on or near every day items like the refrigerator, doors, cabinets, etc.

The more a child is exposed to the language on a day to day basis, the more they will be able to quickly pick up the language but will also grasp the meaning behind the words. Take is slow and then be amazed at how quickly they learn Spanish.

You can learn Spanish just as easily as a child

01/9/2010 20:13

If you’ve ever heard that children can pick up a new language faster and easier than adults, forget it. This is a common misconception. In fact, scientific research has proven that the most difficult learning task for children and adults alike may be the attempt to acquire second language proficiency in school environments.

In fact, even more distressing is that research has shown that less than 5% of students studying a foreign language are able to endure the stressful nature of formal school training to continue studying the language for more than two years (Asher, 1982).


It is simply not true that young children learn a new language more easily and quickly than adults, however, children are exposed to a more brain-compatible learning environment for learning a language than adults are in schools. This is the reason why they learn languages faster.

Research has shown that it typically takes approximately 2 to 3 months of study at the foreign service institute for an adult to become proficient in a foreign language. Knowing that this is possible sparked me on my mission to create an interactive Spanish learning package that could allow regular people, like you, to speak Spanish confidently and naturally in less than 2 months!

If you want to…

**feel more comfortable and confident around Spanish speaking people

**be able to read books, magazines and web sites written in Spanish

**be able to watch and understand Spanish movies

**be able to write to and email Spanish speaking people

**or you simply want to become exceptional at Spanish for any other reason.

My Rocket Spanish Premium package will help you achieve your goals in a simple and easy way. I am sure that you’ll even amaze yourself! I know from the Spanish courses that I have taught, that many foreign language students have difficulty learning, especially with textbooks that are monotonous and repetitious, overblown with grammar rules and lists of meaningless words. That’s why I’ve created Rocket Spanish Premium: The Ultimate Learn-Spanish Kit! It’s simple to understand, clear and easy to use.

As well as that, I put together the Rocket Spanish Premium package because I was fed up with the quality and price of the “learn-Spanish” material on the market that are churned out by popular labels, so I decided that I wanted to make it as easy as possible for anyone to learn and improve their Spanish.

It doesn’t matter what level you are currently at (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), Rocket Spanish Premium is packed full of quality step-by-step audio lessons, over 400 pages of written lessons, games and other resources to rapidly advance your learning no matter what your level.

After all, learning to speak another language is a lot like learning to play an instrument. If you were learning the guitar for instance, the best way to improve your playing would be to imitate and play in time with professional guitar players. The same is true with learning Spanish. You need to listen to and speak lots of Spanish words and phrases from native Spanish speakers, to really power-up your Spanish learning and fluency.

To help you do this, Rocket Spanish Premium contains over 14 hours of interactive audio lessons (our Interactive Audio Course), taking you on a journey from beginner to advanced in your Spanish speaking. That includes over 550 pages, 400 interactive exercises, and my hugely popular software learning games.

You might be starting with the simple stuff like “Hola” and “muy bien” but before you know it you will be understanding and speaking como una persona nativa (like a native speaker)!
