Pronunciation. You know—the thing that trips up so many people when they’re trying to speak Spanish with confidence. The thing that makes teachers second-guess themselves, parents freeze, and lifelong learners wonder, “Am I ever going to get this right?” Well, not anymore. Because I just released this brand-new episode of my video show that might be the easiest, most fun explanation of Spanish pronunciation you’ll ever find. (Seriously… you probably won’t hear it taught like this in a college course.) In this episode, I break down the 5 vowel sounds in Spanish—A, E, I, O, U—and show you exactly how to pronounce them using color words like rojo, verde, azul so you can remember them easily and pronounce them correctly every time. No overthinking. No guessing. Just clarity and confidence. Why this matters: 🗣 If you’re a teacher: You’ll be able to model clear, correct Spanish—even if you're not fluent yourself. 👨‍👩‍👧 If you’re a parent: You’ll be able to help your child speak Spanish more naturally and with confidence. 🌟 If learning Spanish is your dream: Getting the vowels right is a game-changer. It's the foundation of great pronunciation. This is the kind of simple, visual, and powerful lesson that makes everything else in Spanish easier—from reading and speaking to understanding and teaching. So whether you're teaching, parenting, or pursuing your passion… Be sure to check out the episode. Your Spanish journey might just get a whole lot easier—and a lot more fun.

Did you know that exposing your child to a second language at an early age can boost their brain development, improve problem-solving skills, and even enhance their future career opportunities? If you've been wondering how to introduce Spanish to your child or incorporate it into your childcare center, this episode is a must-watch! I’m sitting down with bilingual dad, Rich, and his son, Jackson, who is enrolled in one of our on-site Spanish classes at New Horizon Academy in Denver, CO. They’ll share their experience of learning and using Spanish together and how it has enriched their lives. Why Start Early? Children’s brains are like sponges—they absorb language naturally and effortlessly. Research shows that kids who start learning a second language early develop better cognitive flexibility, memory, and even empathy. Plus, learning Spanish gives them a head start in school and life! Easy Ways to Expose Your Child to Spanish 🌟 Make it Fun – Use songs, games, and everyday routines to introduce Spanish naturally. 📚 Read Together – Choose bilingual books or Spanish storybooks and make reading a daily habit. 🎶 Listen to Spanish Music – Play Spanish lullabies, kids' songs, or background music during playtime. 🗣️ Use Simple Phrases – Start with greetings like ¡Hola! (Hello!) and ¡Gracias! (Thank you!). 📺 Watch Movies in Spanish – Toy Story and more can be switched to Spanish, reinforcing learning in a fun way.
