How to Teach Your Kids a Second Language at Home + FREE checklist and video series

Would you like your kids to learn a foreign language, but you’re not sure where to even start? Maybe you don’t know a foreign language and you’re wondering how to help them if you’re not fluent. This is such a common pain point for many homeschool families, but there’s a fabulous solution that is actually fun to use.

Just a heads up, I’m a partner for The Cultured Home, so I earn a commission if you purchase these lessons through one of the links here. Don’t worry though, I wouldn’t be telling you about it if I didn’t love it and believe it can make a big difference to your family.

Our Foreign Language Experience

When we started homeschooling over a decade ago, we were living in New Brunswick, Canada, which is a bilingual province. So even though I learned Spanish in high school, I found myself searching for resources that I could use to teach my young children French in our homeschool. I did find materials to use, but the whole process was frustrating and didn’t yield great results.

Fast forward 10 years, and those little boys are now in high school, still struggling to learn a language that mom can’t help them with. If they had had a better foundation, I’m sure the story would be much different.

Maybe you can relate? 

We know the benefits of foreign language instruction and we know that kids’ brains are wired to be able to pick up a new language much easier than a grown up’s brain.

But many of us don’t even try to introduce a foreign language at a young age because it just seems too overwhelming.

Foreign Language Immersion Through Play

What if you could include foreign language in your homeschool in a more natural way? What if your kids could spend 30 minutes a week immersed in a language and also learn it through play?

This is the way kids learn their mother tongue – naturally identifying objects and learning words in their context through common usage and play.

Remember counting your toddler’s toes with the rhyme “This Little Piggy?” 

Why don’t we incorporate the same techniques while learning a foreign language?

Well now you can!
