Montessori Foreign Languages

First, let’s start with some basic vocabulary.

Make a list of common objects around the house or classroom, and then find out how to say them in different languages.

For example, in Spanish, the word for “book” is “libro.”

Write the words down in both languages, and then put them somewhere where your child can see them.

As they become more familiar with the words, they can start to match them up.

Next, try some simple songs and rhymes in different languages.

Just remember to keep it fun and interactive, and they’ll be sure to pick up the new language in no time.
