Learning a second language: How parents can help? .
A parent’s attitude toward language learning is crucial to a child’s success, and parents don’t always recognize the value of learning a second language in a changing world.
Why learn a language? It’s likely to help your child become a better thinker, as well as giving her/him an advantage in the work world.
Here’s what you can do to support language classes at your child’s school and language learning at home:
Help your child make time to practice. Learning a language is like learning to play an instrument.
Have your student teach you to say something in the language every day. Explaining is learning. Let your child laugh at your mangled pronunciation – and correct you.
Ask Ms. Cortes for resources your child can use at home.
Provide videos, books and music in the language.
Here are some suggestions; all the programs are FREE- GRATIS!
-Oh Noah Spanish BBC
-Salsa Spanish Episodes Georgia Broadcasting
-Peppa Pig in Spanish YouTube
