Benefits of Second-Language Learning at an Early Age
🗯️ Early second language learners have stronger executive function than their counterparts. This means that they’re often better at planning, focusing, and achieving goals. They’re also better multitaskers and critical thinkers, and some research suggests that bilingualism also provides a significant creativity boost.
💬 Kids have so much to learn about the world. Language can be an awesome way to pique their interest and provide a cross-curricular learning opportunity!
Did you know Spanish is the official language of 18 countries? Each of those countries—from Argentina to Venezuela—has a distinct culture of its own. Even Spanish itself varies between regions, both in sound and substance, and regional slang and idioms provide a window into worlds your child may not otherwise encounter.

In order to preserve the sound of the infinitive, a number of verbs change orthographically (spelling) in the preterite tense. The following changes occur in the “yo” form only:
Verbs that end in -gar change g to gu
Verbs that end in -car change c to qu
Verbs that end in -zar change z to c
Here are three examples:
yo jugué (jugar)
yo busqué (buscar)
yo almorcé (almorzar)
PRETERITE
To conjugate regular -ar verbs in the preterite, simply drop the ending (-ar) and add one of the following:
yo- é
tu -aste
el -ó
nosotros -amos
vosotros -asteis
ellos -aron
The preterite is used for actions that were repeated a specific number of times, or occurred during a specific period of time.
-Ayer escribí tres cartas.
Yesterday I wrote three letters.
The preterite is used to state the beginning or the end of an action.
-Empezó a nevar a las ocho de la mañana.
It began to snow at eight in the morning.
FORMATION OF ADVERBS
Adverbs are words that describe, or modify, verbs, adjectives or other adverbs.
He ran quickly.
(“quickly” describes how he “ran”)
She spoke more slowly than he.
(“slowly” describes how she “spoke”)
(“more” modifies “slowly”)
When two adverbs modify the same verb, only the second one uses the -mente ending. Note that the first adverb is the same as the feminine singular form of the adjective.
Juan trabaja lenta y cuidadosamente.
Juan works slowly and carefully.
El chico le habló clara y cortésmente.
The boy spoke to him clearly and courteously.

Spanish Exclamations for Every Situation
Spanish interjections and exclamations are most prevalent in conversation. You might encounter them in writing as well, but as we said above, they tend to be spur of the moment expressions for lively conversations.
There’s a slight difference between an “interjection” and an “exclamation,” but it won’t affect the way you use them. As their name suggests, interjections get inserted into what we’re saying. They are either single sounds used to express an emotion (ouch!) or brief phrases used as exclamations (oh my!).
¡Aguas! Watch out! (Used primarily in Mexico)
¡Ajá!¡ Uh-huh! / ¡Aha!
¡Anda! Wow! / Come on!
¡Ándale! Come on! / Right!
¡Ay! Ouch! Oh!¡
Bravo! Well done!
¡Buen provecho! Bon appetit!

Por vs. Para
What do por and para mean in Spanish?
Many resources will tell you simply that both por and para both mean “for,” which is sometimes true, but the meanings depend on the context of the sentence. You will never hear a native Spanish speaker use them interchangeably, as they follow distinct patterns of usage. That’s why it can be helpful to focus on comparing and contrasting the ways they are used in real life contexts.
por can mean:
Because of
By way of
Through
Per
Instead of
On someone’s behalf
During
To
In the
By contrast, para can mean:
For
In order to
By (a deadline)
According to
Toward
¿Cuál?

2. ¿Cuáles? Which ones?

1. ¿Quién? Who? (the answer is one person)
2. ¿Quiénes? Who? (the answer is more than one person)
3. ¿Quién es el presidente de Chile? Who is the President of Chile?
4. ¿Quién hizo el pastel? Who made the cake?
5. ¿Quiénes son tus primos? Who are your cousins?
¿Cuándo?
