How to learn Spanish WITH your kids!

Are you a parent who wants to teach your child Spanish but doesn't know where to start? Learning a new language with your child can be a fun and interactive experience for both of you. Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Start with kids' lessons

Learning a new language can be overwhelming, especially for beginners. Join a language program designed for kids, like The Cultured Home, and learn the language together. By starting from scratch, you and your child can build a strong foundation for more advanced lessons in the future.

2. Label objects around your home

Label common household objects like the refrigerator, doors, and toys in Spanish. When you're both in the room, say the Spanish word out loud while pointing to the object. This will help you and your child remember the words more easily.

3. Read bilingual books

Reading bilingual books is a great way to learn Spanish together. Start with simple stories and gradually work your way up to more advanced ones. Bilingual storytime can be a fun and interactive way to learn and help your child develop a love for reading.

4. Track your progress

Set goals and track your progress visually to stay motivated. Get a whiteboard, stickers, or anything else fun to mark off your progress. Draw up the board with mini challenges like learning new words, watching video lessons, or reading a certain number of pages together. This will keep you both accountable and motivated to keep going.

5. Turn on Netlix subtitles

The next time you're watching a kids' program on Netflix, turn on the Spanish subtitles. This is a great way to boost language recognition and learn new words and phrases. Your child will enjoy the program while you both learn Spanish together.

Remember that learning a new language with your child is a journey, not a race. Enjoy the process, make it fun, and don't be afraid to make mistakes. With these tips, you and your child will be speaking Spanish together in no time!
