how to learn spanish at home?

We Answered:

Just talk to her in spanish, my girl is bilingual too but she's forgetting her spanish so now i do what my mom did with us......when we were inside the house she'd only let us speak spanish and when we were outside we could speak all the english we wanted to. Also have her watch more t.v in spanish and listen to music in spanish.

What is the best Latin-Spanish home learning program?

We Answered:

Linguists, and people with vast experience in learning languages will almost always agree on the fact that most language learning methods out there are 50-70 percent fluff! It's pretty easy to get away with telling you that you'll be able to speak a language when for example, someone says "hello", they're speaking English, and it doesn't mean they can actually communicate. Being semi-fluent means you have a functional comprehension of at least 65% in the conventional range of that language, while fluent would be anything greater than 80%. If you don't have the time to learn a language properly, and you're after something quick and easy, then you're probably headed towards disappointment. The best method to getting as far as you can get in the shortest period of time is called the “3 step”. The first step is to complete a FULL Pimsleur (MUST BE PIMSLEUR) course. Listen to each lesson at least 2 times, taking notes the first time with new vocabulary and studying before listening the second time. The 2nd step is to form a list of the 3,000 most commonly used words/vocabulary in English, to also include the eight parts of speech (verbs, nouns, pronouns, adverbs, adjectives, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections), which you can search the web for. Once you've formed the list, you need to find accurate generic-translations, which you can apply to most common case scenarios of that language(definatley the most challenging part of all this).Once that's done, make flash cards or whichever method works best for you in memorizing vocabulary, but try to include each word in a sentence, in addition to just the new word and it's meaning. After you've memorized all that, the 3rd step is to locate 4 movies that are preferably some kind of Disney movie, or anything of a slower pace. Childrens movies seem to work best for this. Watch the movie in the language you're trying to learn with good, quality English subtitles. Watch ONLY these same 4 movies continuously as much as possible, to the point where you know what's going to be said next. Try to plan completing each step in this order, exactly as described within a time-frame of about 8-10 months. When you're done, you should be somewhere in the range of “semi-fluency”, at the point where learning after the “3 step” is quick and easy, and being close to fluent after 2 years of using it everyday, and learning at least an additional 100 new vocabulary words a month during that time. You'll thank me when you're done!

Can you recommend a learn-at-home Spanish and/or Chinese program for elementary age kids?

We Answered:

My son is very interested in Spanish too. He is 9. He actually bought a Spanish dictionary with his own money. He thought if he read it, he would learn it.
I have been told Rosetta Stone is the best. But it is really expensive. Sometimes community colleges have Spanish for kids. It's usually only 12 classes but it might be worth looking into. He may be really interested in learning now. But when he actually starts learning, his mind might change. It may not be as easy as he thinks. I'm waiting for the college to have the classes before I invest in anything else.
