New Spanish Course; Spanish for Babies

Due to the success of our Spanish for Dogs course, we have now decided to expand our courses even further to keep up with the ever changing challenges of today when learning a language.

Spanish is now everywhere. It is one of the most widely spoken languages, both for native speakers and the number of countries who speak and use the Spanish language. Approximately 406 million people speak Spanish as a native language, making it second only to Mandarin in terms of its number of native speakers worldwide. There are also over 20 million students learning Spanish, which makes it a prime language for the world to know.

This is why we at Spark Spanish believe that learning Spanish is so incredibly important, and not just for students and adults. I for one was always jealous of the friend whose parents were from different countries, therefore making them bilingual from the moment they were born. It has been clinically proven that the earlier a child is exposed to a second language, the more native and fluent that child will sound in both languages. Due to this, we have decided to start a new Spanish course; Spanish for Babies! The perfect course for your child to do before later heading to our Spanish summer camps.

We have created the perfect programme that brings a mixture of different activities that enables the highest amount of learning for your baby. We incorporate songs, stories and other activities to make the experience as fun and enjoyable as possible. Whilst your baby is learning Spanish, you can also improve your Spanish skills by taking our General Spanish course which is run at the same time as your babies classes, so you can be rest assured that they are getting the best of care, and learning at the same time!

So if you would like to hear more information about our Spanish for Babies course please contact us and we’ll answer all your questions.

Please take into consideration the date of today – April Fools Day – when booking this course. 🙂
