Maybe your tween or teen knows a fluent Spanish-speaker at school? Have the student teach your child Spanish in exchange for help in a subject they want to learn. For young children, you can offer to babysit for a trusted Spanish-speaking friend who has kids in exchange for some lessons, or enlist the help of a family that knows Spanish, to expose your child to the language.

My favorite tip on this list is the last one — COMIDA!! Food really helps to connect with one’s culture… i would add one more, MUSICA!! my son is 17 months and he shakes his bonbon to cumbia, vallenato and some oldies Abuela puts on for him!!
You know what also works? Watching traditional comedy shows! Kids love to laugh and find jokes appealing so they want to imitate them. Watching El Chavo del Ocho works wonders!
Your articule was so inspiring! It motivates me to continue with my mission to raise two bilingual kids;) THKS!
