"Isla de Providencia? You really went there? Mom told us a little bit about it. We thought she was just telling us bedtime stories."

"Oh, no, Tony! It's real. I've been there many times now. In fact, I was about your age when your great-aunt Elaine and I went there for the first time."

- excerpt from the Power-Glide Spanish Children's Course      

Give your child the benefits of learning a second language

Research has shown that children who learn a second language do better in school, get higher test and SAT scores, go on to better colleges, and have the added job opportunities that only come with knowing a second language. Furthermore, a considerable amount of research has shown that learning a second language in childhood helps children learn to read and write their native language.

Dr. Blair

Based on natural learning principles

When children learn their native language in early childhood, it is not through the study of grammar rules and vocabulary lists. Rather, they learn the words for things around them simply by listening to others. They intuitively grasp an amazing amount of grammar and syntax. By using activities that simulate natural language acquisition, it is not only possible, but normal for children to learn a new language quickly and enjoy doing it!

Puzzles, games, stories, and music

The Spanish Children's Course includes multi-sensory activities for all types of learners. Instead of using boring rote memorization and mind-numbing drills, this course gets children excited about communicating in another language. The adventure story, the variety of learning activities, and the simplified teaching methods are all designed to make learning interesting and fun.

What your child will learn

Children who complete this course can expect to understand an impressive amount of Spanish, including several common Spanish phrases, some complete Spanish sentences, numbers, colors, body parts, and instructions for drawing and acting given in Spanish. They will also be able to understand stories told all or mostly in Spanish, to re-tell these stories using Spanish themselves, and to make up stories of their own using words and sentence patterns they have learned. After completion, your children will be well prepared to continue learning at a more advanced level, and they will have the foundation that will make learning at that level just as fun and interesting as in this course.
