Are your kids excited about learning Spanish? It happens to be one of the easiest languages to learn, so get things started with these Spanish numbers 1-20 worksheets and flash cards.
As my family exercises together, we ask the kids to count our reps, in Spanish. I love how my kids enjoy learning a little bit of my native tongue. They are also beginning to gain fluency in a third language, my husband’s native language (Tongan).
We have an advantage in that we both are fluent in our native languages. However, not knowing the language as a solely English speaker shouldn’t stop you from teaching your kids another language.
Why teach your kids Spanish?
There is no doubt that teaching Spanish to your children is providing them with a huge advantage. Being bilingual in today’s world is an automatic benefit, if not a necessity, for our children, hands-down.
Spanish just happens to be one of the most popular language choices of people worldwide – 500 million speakers to be exact. In some parts of America, you may even need to know Spanish. Of course in the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, but also in the southern parts of Florida, California, and even in boroughs in New York.
The Spanish language is the third most used language on the Internet. This means there is an abundance of Spanish resources for learners online. My very favorite part of teaching Spanish is that it is a language easy to learn because it is phonetic and uses simple grammar.
