My Son goes to an immersion preschool even though we speak Spanish at home since I do want him to be Bilingual-Biliterate. 90% of the Children in his classroom do not speak Spanish at home and speak Spanish perfectly just from going to preschool. The earlier the better.!!! Good Luck.

My husband and I both speak English only but would really love to raise our son (only 6 months old right now) exposed to Spanish, if not bilingual. We’re looking into immersion preschools. So, I’m curious – would this work backwards? Could my son pick up Spanish if he only heard it at preschool a few times a week? I try to read him books in Spanish and I’m learning more and more as I try to speak to him in different phrases throughout the day, but it’s not easy.

I’ve heard it’s better if one parents speaks English and one parent speaks Spanish (instead of a child hearing two languages from one parent), but since that’s not possible for us, I’m wondering if we’re just confusing him by speaking to him in both.

Anyways, I love following this blog and hope to learn more!

You must know there’s nothing I’d like more than to take both Vanessa and Santiago to at least one meetup a month, pero cuándo si trabajo todo el día?? Just the other day I was telling Mary how much I miss all of you, but especially how much I don’t like that Vanessa’s not getting to spend time with her bilingual friends….

Gaspar es lo máximo. Just like I told Dorita, you should take a video of him teaching Spanish and share it with all of us here!!

Miss you a lot, amiga!

Well It is truly amazing how they pick up the language. In our case, Alex is exposed to Spanish 90% of the time since the Preschool he attends is mostly in Spanish and that is usually what we speak at home, yet he is able to speak english when we go out. The only time he has an issue is when Someone asks him, How old are you? Alex says “fine” LOL

Do I get a premio? hee hee
Dorita, you are so cute and so thoughtful. I never translate for anyone, except for specific words for my kiddos.
Rox, stop hiding and come to a meetup so Vane will have amigitos con quien hablar espaniol.
Today I found out Gaspar is teaching his whole preschool class Spanish. Maybe I should let the school pay me to let him go there.

I’m saddened by the fact that our neighborhood is anything but bilingual or multicultural, although I guess I should count our blessings, our next door neighbor is Colombian and she only speaks to our family in Spanish, so at least there’s that.
