Spanish for Children
When I was an Au pair in United States. I had a kid of 3 years old and I experienced how a kid learns a language and I confirmed what Erika Levy said: "Kids this age are developing language skills rapidly, and they quickly absorb whatever they hear," or "They can learn to understand new words in two different languages at an incredibly fast rate." There are many programs that expose the child to another language like Dora the Explorer, Go, Diego, Go! and Sesame Street, which teach basic Spanish words. Lots of parents are also supplementing this elementary knowledge with bilingual books, toys, and CDs.
Exposing your child to a second language will help him learn about other cultures. Research has shown that bilinguals tend to be more creative thinkers than those who speak one language, and one study suggests that their brain functions may stay sharper as they age.
We have done this process online and the best age for teaching online is 5 years old; but as a mom you can start earlier around Two- and 3-year-olds are not only increasing their vocabularies, they're starting to recognize the speech patterns they've been hearing since birth. The earlier you introduce a second language, the easier it will be for your child to pick up its unique sounds. The ability to hear different phonetic pronunciations is sharpest before age 3. So just hearing a television show, listening to music, or learning a few words in a second language will give your child essential tools for appreciating it now and learning to speak it later.
