SpanglishBaby: Online Community for Raising Bilingual Kids

Bulletin Board at SA Tamarindo
Learning a second language at a young age can be much simpler that later on in life as your brain is more of a blank slate in which to pick up new skills. 

The concept of translation from a native language is not as big of a stumbling block as you are picking up two sets of vocabulary and other language principles for each respective language at the same time. So when we came across SpanglishBaby, we knew it would be a great online community to recommend to our readers. 

Many of our students that travel to the different Spanish schools we offer are already all grown up and have had some or no Spanish education background. However, a growing number of families have been travelling abroad to our programs, so that their children can get an early start at secondary language acquisition and hopefully carry this forward into future learning endeavors. 

Online Communities like SpanglishBaby give parents a support system to nurture the goal of bilingualism in their children and provide a means for them to gain information and tools that are crucial to further their child's learning ability. The Community was created and organized by two Latina mom's who saw the gap in proper resources for parents who want their children to be bilingual.

SpanglishBaby provides these tools through a variety of articles on tools+teaching+venues+topics for language learning, cultural themes, experts to answer your questions, book lists, favorite foods, and a forum for parents to talk among themselves. 

There is much more than just these categories, but the impressive site offers parents a means to know they are not alone and that there are many out there with the same ideals and goals for their children's language learning achievements. We say to Salud! to such great innovators in creating a family friendly environment that supports parents who put forth the tough effort of providing their child the means to learn a second language.

Join the community at SpanglishBaby.com and gain invaluable information for your family!
