Why is learning vocabulary so important for kids?

When it comes to learning Spanish for kids, one of the key factors for success is to build confidence. As important as it is to get information across, it is equally as important to make the learner comfortable speaking Spanish. 

For that reason, learning Spanish vocabulary is an effective way to begin learning because:

  • It focuses on learning words they are already familiar with
  • It is the simplest form of language
  • It provides for easy practice outside of lessons
  • It sets the foundation for further exploration

Our philosophy for building Spanish vocabulary for kids

Focus on the familiar

When kids start learning Spanish, they will have an easier time learning words and phrases they are already familiar with. It also makes it easy for them to understand context when it comes to building sentences.

Start by speaking

While there is a lot to learn through reading and visualization, when it comes to language, the best way to learn is to speak. By focusing on speech during vocabulary lessons, young learners not only learn the words, but also how to use them.

Build through progression

In order to expand vocabulary, it is best to focus on learning vocabulary that is related to what you've already learned. When you focus on topic clusters, it is easier for young learners to not only understand new words, but also how they work together to build ideas.

How to start learning Spanish vocabulary for kids

The key to starting to learn Spanish vocabulary for kids is to start with words and phrases that the child is already familiar with. The reason this is so important is because:

  • It makes it easier for the learner to pick up what the words mean
  • It will usually be a word that the learner will use frequently
  • It will help build confidence and make the learner want to keep progressing

Starting with familiar words will also help parents and guardians get started with their kids at a younger age. By starting with these very familiar words, you can build a foundation for young learners that can become useful when enrolling in an online Spanish course for kids.
