My own son is the topic of this post. I took him to take the kindergarten test last week and I must admit I was more nervous than he was. He has that cute way of saying I’m here, pay attention to me! When the teacher who was testing him asked: Could you please tell me the ABCs? He answered: Would you like to hear it in English, Portuguese or Spanish? She was speechless in a good way! He did the three versions of letters and numbers and passed the test with flying colors! When I heard the report from the teacher,  that he not only did that but that his language skills are way above normal for his age, I suddenly realized something I have been talking about for years! My “AHA” moment came and I was moved to see my son’s skills blossom and amazed by the impact of foreign languages in his life.

I’m extremely proud and happy to give you this report because I have been a strong advocate for early age foreign language teaching and I had only studies and some students to bring the knowledge of the effects of introducing a foreign language at early age. Now I have a much stronger sense of what can be accomplished and I wish to share my experience and expertise to moms all over the world and encourage them to start!

Contact me, if you wish to have some free materials and links to start or give me your e-mail address if you wish to be on our news list. We will be giving away copies of my highly anticipated Mommy and Me Little Red Riding Hood – Come and have fun using Spanish!

    Gostaria de sua ajuda; pois sou brasileira e tenho dois filhos; dos quais n~ao sabem portugues!!! Shame on me… Moro em Michigan , e gostaria de receber ideias de como ensina-los o portugues. Nos voltamos do Brasil semana passada, e eles aprenderam algumas palavras em portugues.
