Recent tests present compelling evidence that experience with two languages gives rise to mental flexibility, a superiority of concept formation and a more diversified set of mental abilities. Furthermore, research shows that language acquisition skills are sharpest at an early age. Give yourself and/or your child(ren) the gift of learning Spanish at Gina's Spanish Studio®!

TIPS FOR PARENTS:

Food shopping gives you a great opportunity to practice Spanish.
The ethnic food or produce sections of the supermarket are places
In which children can identify foods of the Latin culture. You could
even visit specialty Latin food stores for more variety.

Your child can practice counting (counting the cans on shelves
or cartons in the dairy section...uno, dos, tres....). Find a store that
sells magazines and books in Spanish and remind your child he/she
will be able to understand if he concentrates during class. Label
objects around the child's room or throughout your home with both
the English and Spanish.

If you have friends who speak Spanish invite them over or start to
correspond with.
