Power-Glide Children's Spanish Course is Designed to help children and adults Understand and Communicate in Spanish

Give your child the Benefits of learning a Second Language
Research now shows that children who learn a second language
- do better in school,
- get higher test and SAT scores,
- go on to better colleges,
- have the added job opportunities that only come with knowing a second language.
- Furthermore, a considerable amount of research has shown that learning a second language in childhood helps children learn to read and write their native language.
Based on natural learning principles.
When children learn their native language in early childhood, it is not through the study of grammar rules and vocabulary lists. Rather, they learn the words for things around them simply by LISTENING to others. They understand from the CONTEXT - as in the Power-Glide Spanish Course.
Children intuitively grasp an amazing amount of grammar and syntax. By using activities that simulate natural language acquisition, it is not only possible, but normal for children to learn a new language quickly and enjoy doing it!

You may be able to learn faster because of sound pedagogical approach.
Dr. Blair incorporated his findings after a life-time involved in teaching languages, into the Power-Glide Ultimate Spanish course.
Results of his research Blair has shown that the average language learner is capable of learning at a faster rate than has normally been assumed, PROVIDED he or she is motivated to learn and is given some pedagogically sound advice. Sounds reasonable to me! The method used in the Power-Glide Ultimate Spanish Course is designed around a lively adventure story. It engages you. Loads of variety is introduced.
