Hola Parents!
These first few lessons we have been practicing greetings and listening to the Buenos dias song. You can see the vocabulary that we've been working on below. Try to use it with your child several times over the next couple of weeks- this will help them learn more quickly. Remember, don’t expect them to be able to use this Spanish perfectly, it may take them months before they can use even simple Spanish phrases. :) Have fun with Spanish and encourage your child!
Hola - Hello
Buenos días - Good Morning
Buenas tardes - Good Afternoon
Buenas noches - good night
¿Cómo estás? - How are you?
Estoy muy bien - I am well
Gracias - Thank you
Yo me llamo _____ My name is___
¿Cómo te llamas? What’s your name?
Azul-blue
Rojo-red
Verde-green
Amarillo-yellow
Numbers 1-10 (uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez)
Here are some suggested activities for home:
Make a simple puppet out of a sock or paper lunch bag and give it a name. Use the puppet to talk to
your child. For example: Me llamo Julia, ¿Cómo te llamas? Let your child use the puppet to talk to
you in the same way. Ask them- Cómo estás? Two thumbs up means muy bien (really good) and two thumbs down means muy mal (very bad).
Ask your child if they can sing any of the song Hola buenos días and show you any of the hand
motions, over the next month they will be able to do some or all of it.
