Spanish for Children

Children learn a new language much more easily than adults. The earlier children are exposed to a foreign language, the easier it is for them to pick up grammar and vocabulary and learn to communicate naturally with native speakers.

Here at Ixchel we have developed customized Spanish programs for children and teenagers that teach Spanish in a playful and fun way that is adapted to their interests and learning styles at different ages.

Now your entire family can learn Spanish while you are in Antigua!

Spanish for Children is taught by teachers that were specially trained to work with children. Most of them also hold degrees as elementary school teachers. There is no fixed minimum age, but children participating in this course should be able to read and write on at least a basic level. For younger children we can arrange childcare while their parents are in class.

Course Content:

Spanish for Children is available for children and teenagers of all ages and is adapted to their needs, interests and learning style. Young children learn Spanish in a playful way that catches their interest and makes their first steps into the Spanish language interesting and fun. Games, songs and multimedia are used to encourage children to develop their communication skills.

For older children, the lessons become more structured and include more elements to develp their knowledge of the Spanish grammar and build their vocabulary in a more formal way. For children in their mid-teens and up, grammar lessons and exercises become more similar to those in the adult courses. Conversation practice revolves around topics that interest teenagers and games still play an important part.
