Carolina Gomez-Kramer makes learning Spanish fun by using music, song, movement, puppets and other activities to engage and keep young children interested and wanting to learn a new language.
As she describes it, ” Music is a very effective tool to teach a language to any age group, especially to children. Through music, children can explore different sounds and grammatical structures, learn new vocabulary, and in some cases learn about different cultures. Music allows language to be presented in a context. When teaching young learners, music can also be a way to extend learning at home and invite parents and caregivers to become active in their children’s learning process – something that is particularly helpful to make a second language more accessible and less “foreign.”
Carolina offers programs for children 0-6 years and workshops for parents and teachers. You can learn more about her program content on her website – 123spanishtogether.com.
