Cinematography

Watch a sample video from The Spanish Cave to meet Pato and Oso, the two stuffed animal characters whose adventures and personalities form the foundation of much of the Spanish curriculum.

Understanding the Learning Journey

FYI: Mathematically speaking and to put things into perspective, a student who takes Spanish 2-3x/ week (30-minute classes) over the course of seven years (say, from PK3-4th grade) will have been exposed to 13 days (24 hour days) of the target language. How much would you ask a two-week-old infant to say in their native tongue? Let’s be sure to celebrate any and all linguistic output!

Language learning takes time, and the numbers below help put that journey in perspective. Use this as a reminder to celebrate every word, phrase, and song your child knows.
