Learn with Me Languages

Why does learning a second language really matter? How can it help our kids become bridge builders?

Elisabeth Alvarado of "Spanish Mama" shares there's an empathy that's gained in the struggle of sharing languages.

It changes us. It changes our kids.

Watch my favorite part of our next episode of the Building Bilingual Families Podcast!

Full episode drops Thursday!

What is 'magical' about speaking a new language? You make connections with REAL PEOPLE. Real stories. New friendships.

This week I spoke with Paola of the Catholic Homeschool Podcast all about helping your kids see beyond themselves this summer, by learning Spanish and using it to CONNECT. As a mom who has both homeschooled and public schooled, I know that family language learning is possible for EVERY family... even if you aren't yet fluent.

Sometimes we question our efforts in trying to give you kids a second language 🙋‍♀️ Are we doing enough? Could I even be messing them up? But research shows that bilingualism development has a ‘silent period.’ So if you aren’t seeing immediate ‘output’ don’t despair!! Success comes after the silence!
