I want my 2 year old to learn Spanish and be fluent?

Question

I am in Stillwater, OK. Where can I find a teacher or class or something to tutor my kid into learning spanish. She is 2. I just want to get her to be fluent so she can have one up on her peers later. And I know if I wait much past when she learns to talk that it will be difficult for her to learn.

Answer 1

livemocha.com is online and free.  They offer chat, voice chat, recordings, picts and video.  I don't know that they offer options geared to someone so young, but you might be able to adapt it to the little one's use.

Answer 2

Buy her some Dora The Explorer DVDs.

Answer 3

Im from Honduras so my situation was the other way around. I speak fluent english now, I actually have a southern accent (someone told me that). Two years is the perfect age, she will be able to pick up the language and she will not have an accent when she speaks spanish. If you live in a town where there is not a big spanish population than just get her started on DVD's and interactive games and software.

If there is a good elementary school w/ a large spanish population you could always send her there. Thats how I learned english, through immersion.  If not, than get Rosetta Stone, that is the best spanish software you can buy. When she is a little older get her into some activities w/ spanish speaking children so she can practice the language, like girls scouts or something like that.

Although I heard that if you want to learn a foreign language than mandarin chinese was the way to go for the future. It will be one of the most widely spoken languages in the U.S next to English and Spanish.

Answer 4

she's only two! that's ridiculous! just wait and teach her when she can actually read and write

Answer 5

There are some dvds and cds that have simple nursery rhymes online that you could search for. Also check out your library if they don't have it I think you can request for another public library to send the materials to your local public library.  If you know some spanish yourself start teaching her some by saying the spainsh word then the english word

Answer 6

That's not right so that she can "one up" her peers. ?!??!?

Whatever happened to learning for the sake of learning?

Answer 7
