I'm raising my 3.5 y.o. son bilingual Spanish-English. I was clueless about how to go about it until I found several great websites created by and for bilingual parents. Maribel has told you already of the best one: http://www.multilingualchildren.org/index.html. I don't know if I'm allowed to give info about other multilingual boards -that could compete with this one- so I'll just give you links to free teaching websites were your kids can play and learn in your target language. I believe in "Paying it forward" so I'm now passing on to you the info that has been given me by others or that I've collected through hours and hours of browsing the internet. Hope you enjoy them! Lana PS:I have also collected info in French and Italian Websites. If you need them, let me know. GAMES ONLINE There are some nice games for the kids to learn Spanish online. Here there are the best. I think you and your kids will enjoy them. http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/hispanic/pinata/game.htm http://montessorihome.com/readingcards/common.shtml (Choose subject, then language, then the guy lifting the maximum weight. Animals seems to be the best) http://www.montessorihome.com/ladybug_es_door.htm (body parts song, Spanish) http://www.storyplace.org/sp/preschool/other.asp (little stories) http://www.literacycenter.net/lessonview_es.htm (infinite possibilities! several languages) ONLINE WORKSHEETS and resources http://www.languageguide.org/espanol/ ***** http://www.enchantedlearning.com/themes/spanish.shtml http://www.homeeducationresources.com/PrintableSpanish.htm http://www.edhelper.com/Spanish.htm SHOPPING http://www.edu-station.com/ http://www.bilingualjourney.com/loterdadetlj.html YOUTUBE The other great discovery was to find “Pocoyo” on YOUTUBE. Once you find one show you like on YOUTUBE it’s easy to find links to others in the same language. Here there are a few links. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QFfzI2tJDg&feature=related (Pocoyo) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF3MuGXPW38&feature=related (Pocoyo) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVSPeJbiro8&feature=related (la gallina turuleca) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAbn0RW6MfQ&feature=related (Susanita tiene un raton)
