It's amazing how quickly children learn Spanish by watching Speekee TV, an online Spanish language course ($7.50 per month or $60.00 per year). One component of why it works so well is that Spanish is the only language spoken during the 10 cumulative, carefully conceived and executed video episodes. Subtitles appear simultaneously in Spanish and English, but are optional. Turning them off creates a deeper immersion experience that can enhance learning. Another reason for the program's effectiveness is that it is so deeply engaging to children. Speekee, a cute, purple life-sized puppet with big eyes, an impish smile, and a tuft of gold hair, interacts with Spanish children, his friend Jim, and even the viewer. There's plenty of playful repetition, both when a word is first introduced, and when it is revisited for reinforcement. The videos make invaluable use of catchy singalongs containing the verbs, nouns, and adjectives being learned. Speekee TV also includes FastTrack, a 40-week plan designed to maximize your child's progress. The activities and worksheets easily accessible through the FastTrack page enrich and enhance the program's effectiveness. Young children have an extraordinary facility for learning languages that diminishes over time. It would be a shame to let that window of opportunity pass your child by when there are effective, inexpensive programs like Speekee TV available.
