We watch Neflix in Spanish often (you can just change the language). Pocoyó is a good Spanish language show too. Also, we haven't tried them but there are lots of kids Spanish classes on Outschool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/encouraging-learning-spanish#post-2920569 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 14:39:22 +0000 MoonMoon 2920569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 7 year old started doing Spanish on Duolingo at the beginning of quarantine last spring, and he's enjoyed it, because he's learning but it's also like a game for him. We do have to supervise him a bit to make sure he's doing some lessons, not just playing, but it's low-key enough that it doesn't feel like a chore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/encouraging-learning-spanish#post-2920559 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 09:24:15 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2920559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have scholastic book club through school, they have a circular for Spanish books (mostly English books that have been translated). You can see it online even if you don't have the physical one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/encouraging-learning-spanish#post-2920557 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 08:58:30 +0000 MamaCate 2920557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: my kids are in Spanish immersion at school, but my daughter loves the program duolingo. I think she has an account through school but she will come home and ask to do it for fun. She is in 3rd grade so I am not sure how much reading is required. My younger kiddo is in kinder and during remote learning his teacher used a lot of songs like the days of the week, greetings etc, that looked like they are from YouTube. </p> <p>They also had this video to practice the letter sounds that we watched over and over and he really loved: <a href="https://youtu.be/aNMwtfP-jC4" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/aNMwtfP-jC4</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/encouraging-learning-spanish#post-2920556 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 08:40:46 +0000 ilovepie 2920556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are a bunch of English/Spanish books that switch back and forth between the languages. My boys love "Fire! Fuego! Brave bomberos!" Also "Twas Nochebuena" is a good Christmas one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/encouraging-learning-spanish#post-2920533 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 21:07:20 +0000 JennyPenny 2920533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're trying to teach our kids French and there are a lot of shows on Netflix that you can change the language for. Maybe check some of her favorite shows and see if they have a Spanish option? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/encouraging-learning-spanish#post-2920530 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 21:05:12 +0000 SweetCaroline 2920530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is participating in an extracurricular Spanish class, 2x30 minute sessions a week. She's in Kindergarten and has learned her colors and counting to 10 in Spanish so far. She really really enjoys it and I would like to encourage her in a low pressure way.</p> <p>Does anyone have books, DVDs, YouTube, etc. they'd recommend? </p>
