Spanish How To Speak

Would you rather have your child learn Spanish or Chinese (Mandarin) starting in kindergarten?

Our public school system has one school where Spanish is taught in K and another school where Chinese is taught in K. Would you rather have your child in one or the other? Why?

That’s a difficult question to answer. While it is true that more people speak Spanish in the U.S. than Chinese, it’s also true that Chinese and Arabic are the two fastest growing languages.

I think it would be easier to answer if you had explained something about the programs. Are these bilingual or immersion programs, or a 20-minute a week class? Are the classes continued through elementary school?

If these are serious classes, where your child will really learn to speak the language, I would strongly suggest you put him or her in the Chinese program. Chinese is considered one of the harder languages to learn, whereas Spanish is considered one of the easier. Offering the opportunity to learn Chinese at such a receptive age will assure your child of greater fluency in a very difficult language. On the other hand, while it would be beneficial to learn Spanish at such a young age, Spanish is an easier language to learn and can be learned later on in school.

On the other hand, if the program is a limited program, where fluency is not the goal, then I would definitely suggest Spanish. Limited Chinese would not provide sufficient language to build on and would therefore not be beneficial, whereas the child could build on a more limited Spanish foundation.

So you want to give this amazing gift to your children? You want them to have an edge over future adults searching for a job in our ever-growing world? If the answer is yes, then you also know that in today’s reality, anyone who has the ability to speak more than one language has a serious advantage over everyone else, and that it is not going to change anytime soon…

Learning a new language can be costly.

If you are reading this article, then I assume that you are searching for the best Spanish schools for children. But before you register your child to any course given by a real teacher, let me tell you this: online courses, created by professional teachers who have their students’ success on their mind, are just as good… And come at a fraction of the price of what a good Spanish school would charge you.

Scheduling “after-school” courses: Time is often a problem.

One of the problems many parents face with helping their children learn Spanish is the scheduling of the courses. We live in a fast paced world now, and with both parents often having a separate career, we find ourselves constantly striving to find more free time to spend with our family. Language Schools schedule their courses between 5pm and 9pm during weekdays, making it hard for parents to drive their children to those courses 2 times a week when they are busy at home taking care of family tasks, homework and such.

Finding an alternative.

Luckily, there are some online alternatives that can be considered. There are many websites offering “do it yourself” written language courses. Unfortunately, those websites aren’t suited for children, as a child needs interactions and images to learn properly. Moreover, written courses need a lot of maturity and discipline. The best alternative for your child would be an online course created by real teachers, as it allows you to help your children learn Spanish for a reasonable price, while offering them the possibility to learn at home whenever you want them to.

One of the best online alternatives available is Rocket Spanish. It contains tons of amazing content: audio lessons, software games, live assistance and more. For more information, check this report:
