Good way to pick up Spanish
Julie Stauffer
The best way to pick up a foreign language is to hang out with native
speakers. I did my best while volunteering to help Mexican immigrants learn
English. It was a two-way street which helped to build some nice
relationships as well.
Your son is still quite young. What about contacting a consulate or
immigrant relocation service (we use our next door neighbors who usually
have a few illegals staying with them) to make contact with Spanish speaking
moms. Play dates where everyone is working to communicate together might be
beneficial for all.

Japanese I wrote to the Japanese Consulate in Seattle and asked them if
they could send us information on Japan. We got such a huge amount of
stuff. Magazines, one copy in English one in Japanese, maps, a cd, all
kinds of things. They also have a lending library of everything you can
imagine. They lone books, videos, cds, for free, you just pay postage.
We also met a Japanese mom and daughter on another unschooling list and
have been corresponding with them. She sent Dylan a comic book he likes
in Japanese and we have the English version and that's been very fun to
try to figure out.

I found a 'phone number for the Spanish Consulate somewhere in CA and
it's

If none of this works, just try a google search or try the State
Department, they will have a list of all the Consulates in the US.
