For English speakers who are trying to learn another language, cognates (words with the same origin) can be a big help!

Even if you’ve never studied Spanish, you will surely catch words like adulto, imposible, […]

Over the next several months, you likely saw an explosion of single words, and then eventually two-three word phrases. Language progresses naturally when a child is […]

One way we encourage this at Spanish Schoolhouse is through “centers.” Some centers, like Imagination Centers, are for self-guided exploration. They have designated spaces that encourage imagination, stimulate creativity, and challenge students to think and problem-solve. Learning Centers, on the other hand, […]
