Oh la la! Cha cha cha! Add an exciting twist to learning Spanish with this spirited 14-song collection - what fun to learn Espagnol a musical way! Authentic speakers give your student a good model to follow, which is especially important if this is the first exposure to the language. Singer/songwriter Jorge Anaya is a native of El Salvador, currently a resident of the D.C. area. Guitar and other instruments accompany the 14 songs that are not too young for older students, but fun and danceable for little ones. Included is a booklet of the lyrics in Spanish & English with some of the vocabulary defined on the side. Some are quite simple while others have a lot more words. Depending on the age and experience of your student, you can use these songs to demonstrate commands, prepositions, questions, negatives and other grammatical points. You can type out the lyrics, leave a space where some words should be, have students listen to the song and fill in the words as they hear them. Maybe one time you take out all of the verbs, and another time you remove articles or adjectives. Use the vocabulary around the house and reinforce what your child is learning. Song titles include: The Little Boat, Vowels, BINGO, Months, Elephants, Seasons, Let It Rain, La Cucaracha, Days of the Week, Numbers, Fruit Vendor, Hiding Song, I Like to Travel, and the Five Pumpkins. The fun Latin beats will have you bobbing your head and tapping your foot as your kids practice their Spanish! ~ Sara

VIDEOS are available as a digital download or as DVDs (while supplies last). Each 25-minute immersion DVD contains a variety of short scenes including live action, animation and puppets. The series features plenty of repetition, slower-paced conversation, and an easy-to-follow format that is helpful for parents and kiddos. Several short songs are included as well. The videos were created in the following order from first to last: LOS ANIMALES, VAMOS A JUGAR, ADENTRO Y AFUERA, LAS ESTACIONES, and LA FIESTA DE FRITZI. If you have a child of 3 or under, the publisher recommends starting with LOS ANIMALES and watching the videos in order. If you have a child older than 3, they recommend starting with ADENTRO Y AFUERA, then circling back to the earlier videos.

If you want a more formally presented lesson, the Educator’s Spanish Collection includes the Spanish Lesson Plans for Kids (also sold separately), music and videos for a parent/teacher to follow guided lessons. Parents have shared that this course is challenging if you don’t know some Spanish yourself. The plan book contains 40 lessons using creative and interactive projects like making puppets, trying new recipes, making play dough, and drawing pictures of family. Each new lesson refers back to past learning, helping the new vocabulary and phrases stick. The lessons guide a parent/teacher, telling them exactly what to say and do. The pronunciation help comes from the videos (make sure you know the correct pronunciation too, so you model it correctly). In the lesson plan book are vocabulary words to have your student repeat and practice. These lessons reference specific videos in the series. Expect each lesson to take 30-40 minutes, including the videos and activities. You are only watching a part of a video for each lesson. Scripted lessons mean very little planning for you!
