This idea came to me while exchanging e-mails with Shannon from TeachingTinyTots
She was asking me when did I started teaching my daughter Spanish,
but since Spanish my first language,
I taught them from birth
So is never to early to start a second language
I offer her to help
specially now that my trip is coming
and I won't be able to do so many preschool activities with my little one
So we agreed on a few lists of things to start
Around the House
Alrededor the la casa
Sink Lavatorio
Stove Estufa
Refridgerator refrigerador
Table Mesa
Chair Silla
Couch Mueble
Computer Computadora
Fireplace Chimenea

Living Room Sala
Family Room Cuarto Familiar

Bedroom Dormitorio

Dresser Comoda
Closet Armario

That is great. I am teaching my toddler Spanish. It is my Mom's first language. I learned English first, then Spanish.
ReplyDeleteI made picture books with out of photos and pictures of things around the home. I would say the name for the item in Spanish showing my son the picture. I also placed a written label for each item in spanish under the photo/picture.
what great ideas- I have been trying to learn spanish since jr high.. I can speak it...okay..but would like to be more fluent.
ReplyDeleteI started introducing it to my kids and invited a friend of mine and her family ( who are from Columbia) to come to my house once a month for a Spanish only night. We play games, read stories, have a treat- and speak only in spanish! I am so grateful they are willing (And honestly I think they enjoy it as much as we do!) But it helps make our "study" of the language more practical.
oh- I followed your link from the bookworm site- nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteI can see why your site has been honored with so many awards!
