Spanish Classes and Lessons for Children

January 27, 2011 By FFCStaff

Spanish is one of those languages I’ve wanted to learn for years, and now after watching Dora and Diego with alarming frequency, my 4-year-old daughter wants to learn, too.

I can tell because she will often start speaking in fake Espanol, sprinkling in the occasional real Spanish word amidst a bunch of semi-Spanish-sounding gibberish. While I’m quite entertained at her “bilingual” conversations with herself, I also recognize this might be the perfect time to get her into some actual Spanish classes or lessons. She’d have a ball, and maybe even develop language skills that could help us out of a jam someday.

After doing quite a bit of research on the Spanish courses available for kids in the Cincinnati area, I thought it might help if I shared what I learned.

Cincinnati Spanish Academy

Cincinnati Spanish Academy can set you up with an instructor at your home, church, library or other location to come and play games and activities in Spanish. This way, children and families learn in a relaxed setting while having fun. They also offer group classes at the academy (located in Mt. Lookout) for kids ages 3 to 10, from beginner to intermediate. These classes run in 6-week sessions, take about an hour each, and cost around $75 per session.

Spanish Booster

Children’s courses at Spanish Booster are designed to teach kids ages 6 to 16, using activities appropriate to their ages, interests and
characteristics. Each course is divided into modules of 30 hours each, completed in about 15 weeks, and takes place at Spanish Booster’s new location in Mason. A six-week session costs around $125 plus the workbook.

World of Spanish

World of Spanish offers Spanish classes for children ages 3-12 (preschool through 6th grade). They meet in different locations throughout Cincinnati, offering classes during the day, before and after school. Classes cover cultural activities such as arts and crafts from Latin America, typical food tasting and cooking, and celebration of traditional Hispanic holidays. Cost is  $70 per student, $56 per additional sibling, for a 7-week session.

SpanishFUN of Ohio

Since 2006, SpanishFUN has been introducing hundreds of young children to the Spanish culture and language using the unique system of Doug Heidenreich (a.k.a. Senor Doug). His easy-to-follow, fun curriculum teaches young children Spanish basics including numbers, colors, everyday words and phrases. Most SpanishFUN classes are in conjunction with local childcare centers, preschools, and elementary schools. But parents in the West Chester/Liberty Township area can also try their Saturday morning classes at a local coffeeshop, Coffee Beans & Brew. Each class is $10 and lasts about 30 minutes.

Spanish on the Fly

Lori Wall is an accomplished Spanish teacher, and has taught elementary, high school, college and several community-based Spanish programs. Now she offers her Spanish-teaching services as Spanish on the Fly to small groups and classes at the locations of their choice. Her materials fit into any basic preschool curriculum. She can design courses for afterschool programs, group tutoring and private classes. Pricing is negotiable based on length of class, number of kids, and how in-depth the teaching will be.

Berlitz

Berlitz Language Center, located in downtown Montgomery, has offered language instruction for more than 130 years. It offers several options for children to learn Spanish, along with many other languages, ranging from before and afterschool programs to private instruction. Berlitz currently offers language classes at several schools in the Sycamore School District. Using the Berlitz method, children are guaranteed to speak the language as Berlitz’s interactive approach makes language learning fun and interactive for children from ages 4 to 11. Small group classes cater to 2 to 3 students, while school programs can have as many as 12. Classes are taught by native fluent instructors and take place at the center, at homes, or at schools and daycares, which represents Berlitz’s dedication to student-centered instruction.

We haven’t decided which way to go yet. I’m thinking SpanishFUN’s Saturday classes at a coffeeshop might be a good starting point for us. Please leave a comment if you know of other places for kids to learn Spanish in the Cincinnati area. And if you try one of these that I mentioned, tell us about it.

    However, many websites have forgotten this fact
    annd made intricate designs out of it, such as
    using dark font colorss against dark backround orr white font color with light background.

    You will need to browse through many companies to choose the one thzt suits your need, liking and budget
    perfectly. Web design creates an attractive, easily assemble and
    functional website, they will convince the visitor or a buyer to do
    something.

    You should also list Spanish Play Dates. Miss Ana is so wonderful. So makes learning Spanish so much fun for the kids, as she puts so much thought and energy into her classes/playdates. She even does her own YouTube videos which as so helpful. A nice bonus to Miss Ana’s play dates is that parents can learn or brush up on their Spanish as well. My son and I have fun learning and practicing Spanish together!

    She is off this summer (having a baby), but I know she wil be announcing a fall session.

    If there are things growing, just get rid of it,
    no need to risk health and life over it. Try and refrain from
    calling the person who filed the lawsuit and make sure you give your lawyer
    the name of the attorney who filed the suit. They basically deliver an oblique
    concept of inadequate cleanliness in your house even when that is not the situation.

    relationships, and family. allowing us all to share in a sort of collective
    creation of consciousness that truly changes

    It is advisable to set a slightly lower price for your home, a price that

    You could earn money from the library, the
    coffee shop, the lounge, etc. Fast food is another option and
    you may be able to work with a flexible part time schedule.
    These funds allow for decent to great returns with longevity.

    But, an effectively written scope statement can help the rest
    of the project flow along with minimal problems. Ask yourself how in-depth this project
    is going to be. Kitchen has been one of the most important areas of a house and
    a good design is always the best way to offer it a great feel and look.

    The chaos can be disruptive for the entire household.
    It is surprising to learn that recycled paper and cardboard have been used for many years as a stone-like substitute
    for skate parks and industrial settings; luckily for homeowners, the use of recycled paper countertops is now growing in popularity for
    indoor uses as well. With kitchen cabinets, the wood doesn’t have any chemical additives, and they are using polyeurothane for the finish.

    These guys have gotten a brand new coat of paint and are ready to roll out into
    your games, and instead of cringing, your teammates will be cheering you on when
    you pick one of these rowdy remakes. Hang posters on the
    walls that have female action heroes on them. Refreshments can include
    things like fruit juice or oink lemonade,
    sandwiches and cupcakes that have sprinkles on them.

    Without further ado, let’s begin his review (cool,
    I rhymed):. ‘Battlefield 4’ is one of the popular video games for

    an icon that could display whether your friends are on PS4, PS3 or on the

    Whats the real difference between a baby carrier sling,

    Senor Doug from SpanishFUN comes to my child’s preschool once a week. He is absolutely wonderful with young children and his Spanish lessons are perfect for the under 5 set. Highly recommend!

    While my 2-year-old is still a little young for most of this (she does love Dora) … I still wanted to say this is great info! I was reading a local parenting magazine over lunch and just get so disheartened because it’s pretty obvious that the only places mentioned in the stories are the ones who have paid for ads on that topic. I love an unbiased round-up 🙂 So thanks for doing that on this topic and in others!
