Basic Spanish with Dora the Explorer Camp

Research shows that learning a second language boosts problem-solving, critical-thinking, and listening skills, in addition to improving memory, concentration, and the ability to multitask. Children proficient in other languages also show signs of enhanced creativity and mental flexibility. Though many take language classes as teenagers, studies show that the human brain is most primed for language learning before the age of seven. There is a steep drop off in ability to retain language later in life. Children who learn another language before age five use the same part of the brain to acquire that second language that they use to learn their mother tongue.

Basic Spanish with Dora the Explorer is an extremely basic Spanish class for young learners. In this class students will learn greetings (Hello. How are you), family member names, numbers and colors (blue, red, green, yellow, purple). Students will learn everyday words and phrases like: yes, let's go, we did it, very good and thank you.

Each class will start with a short song and an introduction to the words in the Dora stories to follow. Learners will listen to an adventure packed Dora stories and interact with the characters and learn how Spanish words are used.  Each story will have new words to learn like: boat, or door.  Learners will be having so much fun they won't even realize they are learning. This basic Spanish class is where fun and learning go hand and hand.  

Contrary to popular belief, young children are not confused by the introduction of multiple languages at the same time. Not only do they naturally navigate multilingual environments, but acquiring a second language early in life primes the brain to learn multiple other languages, opening a world of opportunities for later on. Children who are exposed early to other languages display more positive attitudes to the cultures associated with those languages. The experience of learning a language introduces them to the world in ways they might otherwise not have experienced.
