I am teaching my kids (5yo (year old) -soon to be 6 ds, 4yo dd, 2 1/2yo ds) colors, numbers, letters, fruits and animals etc in English and Spanish. I would love to hear from others who are giving their children a bilingual christian education at home . I want to eventually teach them conversation, writing and reading in Spanish. I have Brainy Baby and Osmosis Spanish DVD's, which have helped them see the images and hear the words in Spanish. I also have some bilingual Clifford and Spot books that I read to them.

Most of the focus right now is in conversing, reading and writing in English. Can anyone recommend a program to teach small children the Spanish language in a fun hands-on way?

Many members of our family speak Spanish and English. I would love for my kids to enjoy both languages as well as both our American and Latin American culture and food. (I have not met anyone yet who is Latina and homeschooling. I know I'm not the only one!)

Hi! And welcome to HOD! You'll have to repost your question on the Main Board as a lot of the moms only read and reply to posts there. (Maybe Carrie will move this for you. ) I remember reading another mom's idea for doing exactly what you are asking about as she taught her son...he might even be the same age as your son. Her name is Dorla...but I think her family is still on their mission trip...to Costa Rica I think. (I'm going off memory...)

OK...I decided to find the post I was talking about, so here is a link to that. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=757&p=5692

I remember glancing at a Spanish program that I thought looked interesting for little ones. I think it was called The Easy Spanish.

I'll gladly move it! Then, the moms can see it and respond. The Main Board is the place everyone goes to read new threads!
We're glad to have you here!

Blessings,
Carrie
