Dear Parent of Kids Learning Spanish,

Are you trying to give your kids a head start learning Spanish but frustrated that you can’t find the right resources – just poor translations, picture dictionaries, flashcards, etc?

Is constant parroting of colors, numbers, and other vocabulary driving you nuts?

Would you prefer to put your kids on a path to learn Spanish fluently - the way people actually speak?

If that is the case then you have come to the right place...

¡Hola!

My name is Ana Lomba, and I welcome you to join over 80,000 families that are currently learning languages using my materials. With my assistance you can teach your kids real Spanish – even if you do not speak Spanish yourself. I am going to show you how this is done using my Ana Lomba’s Easy Immersion® approach.

This unique approach wasn’t developed overnight. It took years of research, practice, and observations. My background includes:

5 years teaching Spanish at Princeton University.
13 years teaching and publishing materials for parent-child, preschool and elementary school kids learning Spanish.
Leadership in prestigious language organizations at national and regional level (ACTFL, FLENJ, NNELL)
Frequent presentations at world language conferences
Advocacy in Washington D.C. for world language education
Curriculum licensing to language schools (Spanish, Chinese, and French).
8 Books and CDs published with McGraw-Hill
Parents’ Choice Award Winner for Play and Learn Spanish and Play and Learn French books

I am a Madrid native with a law degree in Spain, post-graduate degrees from Princeton University and Binghamton University, and now raising three kids in a bilingual household.

Are you wondering how you can teach your kids Spanish at home?

As a parent and leading educator, I know just how difficult and frustrating it is for parents to find appropriate resources for young children learning Spanish.

Despite being a native speaker with years of experience teaching Spanish to university students and older kids, nothing really prepared me to raise my children bilingually or to teach children Spanish (ages 0 to 8 yrs) through my own program, which I started in 1999.

There were no manuals to follow – that would have been fantastic! Instead I spent my early years poring through research related to language acquisition as well as children’s cognitive development.

This research together with years of trial and error teaching the little ones led to the creation of my curriculum and supporting materials. As an educator and language advocate, it is very important for me to understand young children’s unique developmental needs and interests, as well as the strategies that work best for them.

It has not been easy, but there were fantastic discoveries along the way.

For example, it was truly amazing just how much my parent-child groups (armed with the class' handouts) progressed relative to the groups without parents... It wasn’t even close! The magic ingredient was clearly the extra interaction in Spanish that parents provided at home.

The most critical and powerful lesson learned in all my years teaching Spanish is the astonishing influence of parents in their children’s path toward proficiency.

That is why today all of my materials are specifically designed to help parents and kids learn Spanish together at home.

I’ll tell you more about my materials shortly, but first I want to share with you my 7 Best Kept Secrets that I guarantee will dramatically increase your kids’ level of Spanish in just a few short weeks.

Ana Lomba’s 7 Best-Kept Secrets to Teach Your Child Spanish at Home:

1. Read and Play with your kids in Spanish

You may not know this, but young children need to speak and interact with real people in order to acquire fluency in a language – in fact, babies and toddlers will not learn any language whatsoever without personal interaction.

**No DVD, TV program, or occasional language class can even get close to what YOU, the parent, can offer – YOU are the best language teacher for your young children**

Reading to your children and playing with them is something that you already do (hopefully) on a daily basis – all you need to do is switch the language for a few minutes each day to start offering a top-notch Spanish class to your kids!

What if you don’t speak a word of Spanish? No problem! You can build the necessary skills as you go along. At the beginning you may only be able to repeat a few sentences that you just heard but little by little you will expand your repertoire and be able to speak with increased proficiency.

2. Use visual and dramatic cues to support comprehension

Illustrations and gestures help children follow Spanish stories or conversations even when they do not understand all of the words. Imagine yourself saying, “Es hora de ir a la cama" / "It’s time to go to bed,” while pretending to yawn and then putting your head on an imaginary pillow. Your child hears the language, and the supporting gestures help make, or reinforce, the connection.

3. Use exciting audio recordings to model your own voice

Verbal cues support comprehension as well as proper development of fluent Spanish speaking skills.

4. Start with familiar topics to build a language foundation

Familiarity breeds confidence and interest. You and your kids will not be intimidated if you can draw on well-known topics - using language from familiar stories or daily routines will be easier than introducing completely new topics.

5. It is much more fun learning Spanish using whole language

Spanish is more enjoyable when it can be used to share a story, play a game, and interact with others, and that takes whole language.

6. Quality and quantity of exposure to Spanish matter

Proficiency scales rapidly with meaningful and frequent exposure to Spanish. Spanish classes are very highly recommended, but using the language in different settings (at home, in school, at the playground, at grandma and grandpa's, etc.) will add variety and help your child master the language.

Since young children employ all of their senses to absorb information, expose them to Spanish through many channels and contexts (e.g. movement, music, storytelling, pretend play, etc).

7. Early language acquisition has various stages

Just as with their first language, your kids will listen (and take in visual clues) before they comprehend, they will comprehend before they speak; they will speak before they can read and write; they will be ‘read to’ (by you or others) before they ‘pretend to’ read and they will eventually read themselves.

So now you have my 7 Best Kept secrets, and you may be wondering what is next? What resources are available to help your kids learn Spanish better?

My Ana Lomba’s Easy Immersion® Classic Stories are specially designed for parents and kids learning Spanish at home

My new line of electronic Spanish books for children may be the best Spanish learning software around to help young kids learn Spanish fluently with you. They are based on my unique approach, and address each of the 7 Best Kept Secrets mentioned above.

I suggest that you start with my adaptation of the story of The Little Red Hen. This centuries-old, beloved European story is very well-known in the US as well as in Spanish speaking countries (I grew up with La gallina roja in Spain!).

Key features and benefits of The Little Red Hen / La gallina roja and my other story adaptations are as follows:

1. Expert-designed to help parents and young kids learn Spanish at home easily - together

For the newcomers to Spanish there is integrated audio, vivid illustrations, and English just one click away to provide support as you progress. The audio can be played over and over to pick nuances in the dialogue, absorb more information each time, and continue at your own pace.

For the advanced kids learning Spanish there are 40-60 pages of rich dialogue filled with authentic expressions and varied vocabulary in context.

2. Vivid comic-style illustrations to captivate your child’s imagination

Your kids will have lots of fun and learn Spanish faster with the strong visual support.

— ¡Quiquiriquí!—cantó el gallo—. ¡El sol ha salido! ¡Buenos días a todos los animales!

“Cock-a-doodle-doo!” sang the rooster. “The sun is up! Good morning to all the animals!”

3. Spanish voiceover by Broadway actress (from 2008 Tony award winner “In the Heights”) so your kids will love listening to the stories

Your kids will enjoy the theatrical elements of great storytelling as used by a native speaker.

Also, the animated voices will ‘stick’ with you and provide a great model for you.

4. Familiar story to breed confidence and interest

Even though somewhat changed, the fact that you know the basic storyline will allow you to relax and focus on the vocabulary, the conversations and other details.

My adaptation of The Little Red Hen contains many fun twists, and - as we know young children can listen to silly stories over and over and still find them funny. Each time your child will pay attention to different things and learn more Spanish.

—Hola Oveja, soy yo, la Gallina Roja. El trigo está listo para segar, ¿nos ayudas a segarlo?

—Lo siento, tengo que ir a la peluquería.

“Hi, Sheep. It’s me, the Red Hen. The wheat is ready to be reaped. Can you help us reap it?”

“I am sorry. I have to go to the hairdresser.”

5. Whole language so your kids learn Spanish fluently

Each story contains 40-60 pages of real dialogue so your kids learn Spanish the way people speak, not just colors, numbers or isolated lists of words.

6. Extensive dialogue to MAXIMIZE exposure to Spanish

All you have to do is to mix the dialogue into your daily routines while playing around with your kids- and of course the more you use the language the greater command you’ll have of it.

Also, the online viewing means that you and your kids will have instant access anytime and anywhere – as long as you are connected to the Internet.

7. Target all areas of language acquisition

You can:

Listen to ‘develop an ear’ for Spanish

Read the text with the audio ‘off’ to practice speaking Spanish - as well as to add you own personal flavor

Act out the story with siblings and friends to develop command of Spanish in context

Write the text while listening to master literacy skills

Be creative and play with the story in other fun ways

Olía tan bien que el perro, el cerdo, el ratón, el caballo, la oveja, el burro y el toro se acercaron a la casa de la gallina después de muchos meses.

It smelled so good that the dog, the pig, the mouse, the horse, the sheep, the donkey, and the bull went to the hen’s house. They had not come for many months.

But in the story, it was too late...

The End.
