Comment on What should I do to have my kids learn spanish if I can’t speak it? by Amanda

that is a really good idea!

with teaching them colours, numbers and alphabet you can do this at home before they start school!

when they start school choose a school that offers spanish and/or french in its curriculum and have them pick it as a subject. or you could make them take classes on saturdays.

in my view the cheapest way is to learn spanish or french from the internet. you could learn it yourself and then when you start to learn phrases start teaching it to them so they can grasp it. (learn a foreign language in phrases NOT just in words, because some words may mean something different when put next to others in a sentance).

i did this to to learn italian! if you go on you tube and type “travel linguist spanish” then videos will come up teaching you all sorts of phrases in that language. this is better than a textbook because you learn to say it with the correct pronunciation because in some languages you do not pronounce all letters and 2 letters together make a different sound!

good luck!

Try to get them to master English first over the first 8 years. Then have them learn Latin, and then every other language will follow based on their Latin (including French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and every other romantic language). Latin provides the structure and vocabulary for most western languages.

The best way to develop an infant’s intellect when it comes to TV is to have them watch normal TV shows with normal dialogue. Baby Einstein videos are proven to worsen ADD and ADHD because it is such a stupid, senseless, convoluted show with no real-life dialogue. To put it bluntly, it will teach them to act retarded.

Around the ages of 2-4, start reading books to them and get them familiar with colors, numbers, alphabet, etc. At the age of 5-6, start teaching them phonics. Most public schools don’t teach phonics anymore, but it is critical. Try to get them in a phonics program of some sort. IT IS A MUST!!! Sight reading does not allow a child to decipher a word they never have seen, only phonics allows them to do it. Even in high school and college, I can tell whether a student was taught with sight-reading or phonics. The phonics crowd is a lot quicker at not only reading and writing but also thought process and communication. The sight-reading crowd can hesitate a lot when reading a passage or communicating thoughts.

If you are on the east half of the U.S., the public schools are pretty good and I don’t think you should have a problem with their educational development as long as you have a phonics program. But if you are on the west half of the U.S., enroll your kid in a private school because the public schools are terrible, especially in the southwest.
