I´ve sinned in the holy grail of bilingual up-bringing because I hadn´t really joined or started any bilingual playgroups.  Muy mal, I know!

Now I can´t keep up with Señorita Camila´s social Spanish-language calendar!

Anyway, I found this great group through meetup.com and through Dariela´s (http://nuestravidaconadrian.bl…..gspot.com/) suggestion.  Olivia, the founder, called it Jugamos? and she describes it like this:

It's all about meeting friendly Hispanic/Latino parents with young children in surrounding areas (Glassell Park, Highland Park, Glendale, Burbank, Eagle Rock, Pasadena, Altadena, Rosemead and San Marino). We want to share, introduce and maintain our culture and language. We'll have play dates, go on outings/walks, talk about our kids, and offer social interaction for the children and for the parents, “noche de damas” and “noche de padres.” Everyone is welcome, come and share our culture, experiences and find parents with similar or same interests, and make new friends. “Listos para jugar?”

I met this great group of dedicated parents and kids some weeks ago and can´t wait to get the chance to jugar with them again soon!

You can join here.  It would be great to meet you!

Hello Ana,

This playgroup sounds like exactly what I was looking for.  I tried to get more information through meet-up but was unable to access the group.  Is the group still taking place?  I would love more information. 

Thank you,

Liliana

This playgroup doesn't seem to exist on Meet-up anymore?  I would also love to find a bilingual playgroup in East L.A.  If anyone else knows of one, wants to start one up – that would be great – and please let me know!

I would start one myself, but I am not bilingual, and am trying to advance my Spanish as I teach it to my daughter…

Violetsmom,

I would encourage you to form a playgroup if you don't find one, regardless of whether you feel comfortable yourself speaking in Spanish or not. It's so, so valuable for the kids to have other children to play with in Spanish, and if you want to practice your own Spanish I think you will find the other parents very receptive!

Please come back and let us know how it goes!

Beth
