Should you include foreign language instruction in your homeschooling? If so, which one? What if you don't fluently speak a second language? Can you competently teach your child French, Spanish, Mandarin, or German if you only speak English? The answer to all of these questions is YES! The sooner you start, the better the outcome but don't worry, it's never too late to introduce a new language and a new culture into your home education. In this week's episode, Carrie talks with Shannon Kelly, the founder of Cultured Kid. The Cultured Kid is globally loved, play-based language program used by thousands of homeschool families around the world to help kids learn a second language. Carrie and Shannon share how to use songs, stories, games, and hands-on activities to help kids learn a foreign language through play. Pour yourself a cup of Italian espresso or a Mayan Mocha, grab a croissant or some French pastries, put your feet up and join Carrie and Shannon for some coffee and conversation about including foreign language instruction into your homeschooling.
