I’m excited to report that I won an awesome giveaway over on Ohana Mama!
It will be so fun to have a nifty learning tool like Bilingual Fun to start teaching Spanish to Chiquita. This will be great for me as I think most of my college curriculum will be just a tad over her head right now. 
I’m hoping to enroll her in a toddler Spanish program when we go back to California. Having studied language acquisition a little in grad school, I know that now’s the time to get things started, while she’s a little sponge.
I’d love to hear any thoughts from anyone who learned a second language as a child! I’m also working on compiling any links/online resources for Spanish, so if you have any, please share!

Congratulations!!!
Maliah (my neice) will be starting kindergarten in the fall that is 50/50…spanish and english! She doesn’t know any Spanish right now, so that should be very interesting! Good luck with Gigi!
That’s cool! My sister-in-law’s roommate from college is married to a Costa Rican and they have twin girls (about 6 months old) so they will be speaking English and Spanish at home…wild! Check out her blog: http://www.ticogringobabies.blogspot.com/
I think you would enjoy looking at my blog: Teaching and Learning Spanish.
@Ang- that is so cool. I’d love for Gigi to be in a program like that. I worked at a Dual Immersion school in SLO and loved it so much I did my senior project on the program.
@Beth- I checked it out and will bookmark it! Thanks!
@Karen- I actually already subscribed to your blog! I really like it and I can’t wait to check out all your links. I just started following you on twitter too recently, so nice to meet you!
Oh, neat! I’m following you now on Twitter.
Scott and I checked out the Rosetta Stone at the mall today and my first thought was…oh my goodness, parents should totally give this to their kids who want to play video games! It was so cool. I think when it comes time for our kids to want to play video games, which in general I’m not a big or even small fan of, we will get them the Rosetta Stone. I think it would be good for ages starting at 6,7, or 8. So if the child is already picking up a language from a school or other program, there are so many other languages they can add on with the “Rosetta Stone Play time”
