If you're looking to give children Spanish lessons, you might be surprised by the best methods in which to give them. Children pick up languages very quickly and very intuitively, so listen closely!
Children learn their first language by age 2, and they end up fairly conversational at that point. They didn't have any language training, and they didn't know any language beforehand. They got this way simply by being spoken to in the language, and being IMMERSED in the language all the time.
The truth is, children up to their early teens can learn a second language exactly the same way! You can even expedite the process by turning language learning into somewhat of a game.
I prefer to use computer software to teach my children words in Spanish. I have it flash words on the screen, and it's turned into a game where they get more points dependent on how many words they get right. You, of course, could do this with physical flash cards as well.
Along with playing Spanish word games with my children, I simply try to speak to them in Spanish at any time! I will ask them, "Quieres comer ahora?" (Would you like to eat now?) They catch on surprisingly fast to what I'm saying, and retain it very well.
If you want to give your children Spanish lessons, help them learn new words, making a fun game out of it. And, secondly, just speak Spanish to them -- it will help them figure out Spanish grammar and sentence structure. Good luck!
