Introduction Helping your children become bilingual at an early age will impact their future success tremendously. Spanish-4-You is a fun and practical program that will make your little ones conversational in record time.

As an introduction to our program, we have turned our Greetings lesson into a fun mini-coloring book that will teach your children how to properly greet people as well as how to say their name and where they live. There is an accompanying audio CD so that you can help your child with pronunciation and also to listen to the song. It can be accessed, free of charge, in our website. We recommend that you and your child listen carefully to the pronunciation of the words and that both of you repeat what you hear several times. Encourage your child to color while saying the word or phrase several times. Then cut the flashcard labels and paste them into colored flashcards to practice memorization (the Spanish on one side, and the English on the other). The lively song will reinforce what they have learned.

For more information regarding our services and also to download the corresponding audiofile, please visit our website: www.spanish-4-you.com

Muchas gracias, Laura Zayas, Spanish-4-You Director MA in Teaching of Foreign Languages, UCLA

Some Test imonials “I highly recommend the Spanish-4-You program. From the first lesson, the children have been exuberant about learning the language. The kids were able to speak within weeks in complete and accurate sentences, and with pleasure and confidence.”

Anne Simon, MD • Parent of a 6, 7 and 9 year old Mirman School for the Gifted • Los Angeles, CA

“Raves to Spanish-4-You! Getting, and keeping, a child interested in learning a foreign language is no easy task. But Laura and her talented team have pulled it off with our 10 year-old son. The classes are fun, kid friendly and teaches children to read and write Spanish… and most importantly, to retain what they’re learning. It’s a great confidence-builder. Our son loves it.”

Lynda and Aaron Kass • Parents of a 10 year old Lincoln Middle School • Santa Monica, CA “Everything went great today with Spanish-4-You. The kids liked their first Spanish lesson a lot and seemed to take to Virginia quite well. They had fun going through the flash cards yesterday and today.

Madeleine C. Marco • Parent of 8 yr old twins Manhattan Beach Middle School • Manhattan Beach, CA

“Gabriel Mier, from Spanish-4-You, is a patient and wonderful teacher who really understands children and makes learning Spanish a fun and interactive experience. He has really helped Mason comprehend the basics of Spanish. Her accent is great!”

Abby Maxam • Parent of a 5 year old Los Angeles, CA
