Great article! Thanks! I too am so grateful that my husband never apologizes or feels badly about speaking only Spanish to our son even in mixed company. I would love to win a copy of the book! thanks for the give-away!

Another inspiring post--we do OPOL so I've enjoyed all the posts this week! Having a Spanish-speaking nanny when my boys were between 1-3 years old was one of the things that made a huge difference. Now they're both in preschool and it's more of a challenge, because they speak English a lot more than they used to. .-= Keen´s last blog ..Shopping With Primo [Or: When Your Early Reader Can Kind Of Be a Pain In the Ass] =-.

The OPOL method is working very well for us right now, but my concern is when our sons are older. What do you do when they absolutely refuse to speak Spanish? A lot of the mothers that I have met at the library during Spanish story hour say that this is their problem with their older children.

Ana Gloria I forgot to say thanks for sharing your experience, it is more easy to understand the Opol method with your family experiences.
I would like to ask if this methods will be as useful in the other side , living in a spanish country raising kids speaking english as a second language?

All of the information from the past few days has really made me want to use the OPOL method. Would LOVE to win the book and use it immediately. Thanks for doing this giveaway. I think if I don’t win I will have to go buy the book.
