““My son is around 8 years old. He started learning Spanish by enrolling in Kiddos Lingua when he started second grade. He made very good progress in learning Spanish vocabulary starting first week itself. Within two months he started forming sentences in Spanish. Prior to learning Spanish as part of Kiddos Lingua, I tried 5 different Spanish teachers for my son but nothing worked at all. Kiddos Lingua method of teaching is very effective and it has been working well.
Kiddos Lingua Spanish teacher (Mrs. Yipsy De Armas), who is a native Spanish speaker, is highly educated and has exceptionally good Spanish teaching skills. Luis Miguel, who is also a highly educated Spanish teacher, has been managing the program very successfully. He provided a lot of free Spanish learning material (for example, online Spanish learning games) which made Spanish learning easy with a lot of fun. I highly recommend Kiddos Lingua for Spanish learning.”

Complementing the learning that happens at school in English, this after-school program has the unique opportunity of teaching Spanish as a second language. Kiddos Lingua opens the door to Hispanic culture, traditions, and music.
Children will learn the four fundamental skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing plus basic grammar rules.
The latest research-based methodologies in second language acquisition are used in the program. For example, the experimental method (also known as project-based) and the communicative method. Learning occurs in a stress-free atmosphere where students play games, sing Spanish songs, make performances, dance, and interact with one another and the teachers in pairs, small groups, and general sessions.
Kiddos who come from Latino/Hispanic communities will learn new vocabulary, how to read, write, and improve their oral fluency.
Children coming from an English background will be able to master the second most spoken language in the United States with more than 45 million Spanish speakers, 15.3 million of them living in California. (Source: US Census Bureau 2016)
Kiddos Lingua´s main goal is to create a linguistic foundation in elementary schoolchildren before they take Spanish courses in middle and high school. Becoming bilingual, bicultural, and biliterate will help our students to succeed in education, the job market, and their personal lives.
