Spanish for children might seem like it is not possible if you are interested in having a bilingual baby
. Do not be discouraged. Even, teaching your child Spanish at home, can be fun and educational for both of you. One of the simplest way to teach Spanish for Children as a fun activity is buying an instructional DVD. When looking for an instructional DVD, look for the following things:
Find a DVD where only Spanish is spoken : Teaching Spanish for Children is easy if they are constantly exposed to the language. By purchasing a DVD that teaches Spanish and is created solely for children, you will be giving your children all of the information they need to take in the language.
A DVD should cover 60 or more topics: You need to make sure that the DVD you purchase has over sixty different words or phrases that it will teach your child. While your child is at his or hers best age to pick up a second language, they need to learn as much as possible.
A DVD that focuses on ages between one and five: Between the ages of one and five a second language learning for a child is extremely easily. The optimal time for learning a second language for children is during these ages.
A happy DVD with lots of colours and smiles: When children are at such a young age, they struggle to stay entertained for a long period of time. Make sure that the DVD is a happy DVD with lots of colours, action, sounds and voices. This will ensure that your child will remain interested in the DVD regardless of how many times he or she watches it.
As well as using an actual DVD there are other ways to make Spanish for Children fun. Download or buy music or cartoons in Spanish and let your children watch them instead of English cartoons. This is a great way to introduce more words in your child's vocabulary while still entertaining them. You can also find groups of children who are learning Spanish and make playgroups for your children. Make sure your children understand that they can only speak Spanish with their friends.
You can make Spanish for Children fun by thinking of creative ways to introduce the language into your child's everyday life. The most important thing is practice and a dedication from you to ensure that your child picks up the language.
