How do you keep Spanish alive at home? Are there any tips to motivate children when you don’t speak Spanish yourself? Yes!! It is not that difficult as you think it is. Trust me, even if you don’t speak Spanish you can help your children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews and they will love you for that in the future. It is so important to have the support from parents, family and teachers when learning a language. Read more on our website Más Canciones en Español – Music with Sara

Follow us on Twitter – As we always say in our classes it is a good to put the vocabulary you learn in context. A good idea is to make sentences with the vocabulary you learnt. Not only will it make you practice but it will increase your vocabulary even more. You will gradually be using those phases and sentences. Studying words from a list is not a good idea as you miss the chance of putting it into phrases and then sentences. Don’t you find it very hard to remember a list of 20 words? It is very hard to remember words in isolation. Generally we don’t use just one word when we communicate. We frequently post a “Phrase of the day in context” on Twitter to practice the “Word of the Day” or “Phrase of the day”. You could make your own sentence and post it & we will comment on that!
