What an inspiration you are! I totally wish we lived closer so that Alina and I could join your playgroup. For so many reasons, I know my kids would flourish being friends with kids like yours. Abrazos, amiga.

It’s interesting to see just how much Spanish you really don’t know when you start making an effort to speak it 24/7. (I can bonestly say I’ve never need the word for “hoot” – ulalar – in my whole entire life, but now i find myself hitting wordrefeen e.com quite often! We’re doing OPOL as well.

After 13 months of doing it though, I can actually say it has become easier. So stick with it and take it day by day. If you have to Spanglish it a sentence or two, it’s no big deal. Just look e word up later.

Also, love the idea of the Spanish speaking moms group. I may steal your idea and do the same here! We can all use some support!

I married my husband and one plus I saw in him was that he spoke very good Spanish, had lived overseas and loved the Hispanic culture..sometimes even more than me ;) ..it has helped a lot in raising our children. After 7 years as parents the more children we have the harder it gets because among siblings all they want to speak is English, however persistence is the key. We also have an hour a day of ONLY SPANISH in the home. And at nights, we read the scriptures in Spanish. We are doing the best we can and that’s all that matters. Our kids and the world they are in will thank us for that.
