[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's going to be VERY hard to teach your kids a language that you don't speak simply by using DVDs or flash cards.  22:16, I frankly don't see how flash cards or reading books would work because OP does not speak Spanish.

OP, if you really want them to learn, you need them to have someone to interact with in Spanish (childcare provider/babysitter, teacher, etc.). You can try DVDs, which will be good for exposing them to the sounds and maybe picking up some words and phrases, but I would not have a lot of expectations beyond that.  Still, any exposure to another language is a great thing, IMO![/quote]

22:16 here

I'm not promising her her children will be fluent. Those are tools to expose them to a new language. I worked for a family that didn't speak a word of French but their 2nd grader had a gorgeous accent just from taking classes in school once a week and watching DVDs at home every once in a while.

If she becomes consistent with the tools she has, by the time they're old enough to be enrolled in classes or immersion programs they'll be familiar with the sounds and accent what will make learning the language much much easier.

OP, don't dismiss the benefits of introducing new languages to your children. Start now and you'll never regret.[/quote]
