Spanish Around the House

Are you looking for the ✔ BEST, ✔ EASIEST, and ✔ QUICKEST way for you or your child to learn Spanish? 

Then, the Spoken Spanish at Home book series (for Native English Speakers) is for you! This series is what I created for my own family to practice Spanish. We are too busy for formal classes, so we have to fit in language learning wherever we can! 

FROM THE LANGUAGE CURRICULUM EXPERT 

Learning Spanish since 2005, teaching since 2010, graduating with a B.A. and 2 M.A.s, I love to study. However, I spent a lot of time on things that I never ended up needing. Then, when my husband wanted to improve his English, we tried many different courses. 

But none of them worked. They were filled with:

Too much boring grammar

Vocabulary that he would never use

No interaction or practice

WE KNOW OTHER BILINGUAL FAMILIES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM

There had to be a better way! A way for him to learn quickly, effectively, and to stay motivated by seeing a ton of progress along the way. And as a bilingual family, as well as expats, prioritizing the vocabulary that we see, use, and touch everyday, was my number one goal.

Therefore, I set out to create materials that are 

Easy enough for any beginner student to understand

Teach the most common and valuable concepts FIRST

Encourage speaking practice

Can be read together as a family 

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BOOK

With the read-aloud strategy that you will experience in this book, students will see: 

Easy to understand grammar structures.

Vocabulary words with bright pictures. 

A book that can be read as a family, regardless of age. 

Visuals that help younger learners easily participate (before they can read). 

Faster speaking results than traditional grammar-based programs.

An increase in overall comprehension as they pick-up everyday words. 

HOW IS A BOOK INTERACTIVE? 

Not just a picture book, Learn English Around the House Book 1 for Native Spanish Speakers, makes beginner students (children, teens, and adults!) use the information right away. 

① Vocabulary is replaced by pictures through the book. 

② Students have to orally say the vocabulary as they read aloud. 

It sounds much easier than it is! They are not just repeating words from the paper. Instead, they have to recall the correct English vocabulary word as they read.

This strategy is meant to help students retain the information quicker, and for a longer period of time. When students have to stop and think, (or flip back to the vocabulary page), it sends a message to their brains. The brain understands that trying to find this word means that it must be important. And the brain holds on to important information.
