#16 A Crash Course In Spanish Pronunciation
Pronunciation. You knowāthe thing that trips up so many people when theyāre trying to speak Spanish with confidence. The thing that makes teachers second-guess themselves, parents freeze, and lifelong learners wonder, āAm I ever going to get this right?ā 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 youāll ever find. (Seriously⦠you probably wonāt hear it taught like this in a college course.) In this episode, I break down the 5 vowel sounds in SpanishāA, E, I, O, Uāand 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: š£ If youāre a teacher: Youāll be able to model clear, correct Spanishāeven if you're not fluent yourself. šØāš©āš§ If youāre a parent: Youāll be able to help your child speak Spanish more naturally and with confidence. š 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 easierāfrom 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 easierāand a lot more fun. Cheering you on always, Theresa Founder, OāNeill Language Academy Host of The Teach & Learn Spanish Podcast

#9 The Benefits of Raising a Bilingual Child & How to Get Started
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!

Easy Ways to Expose Your Child to Spanish š Make it Fun ā Use songs, games, and everyday routines to introduce Spanish naturally. š Read Together ā Choose bilingual books or Spanish storybooks and make reading a daily habit. š¶ Listen to Spanish Music ā Play Spanish lullabies, kids' songs, or background music during playtime. š£ļø Use Simple Phrases ā Start with greetings like Ā”Hola! (Hello!) and Ā”Gracias! (Thank you!). šŗ Watch Movies in Spanish ā Toy Story and more can be switched to Spanish, reinforcing learning in a fun way.
