Little Linguist Flash Cards
   
Growing up as a bilingual child I cannot emphasize enough the importance of teaching children a second language while they are still young. Children have a small window in which their linguistic skills are developing and they are able to grasp multiple languages with ease and as they age the ability to grasp foreign language becomes more and more difficult. Teaching a child a second language at a young age opens up their skill level enabling them to learn multiple languages even as they age because their ability to understand the rules of foreign language has been cultivated. Simple living proof are myself, I am quickly

learning a third language at 27 years old and my older sister who has grasped seven languages by the age of 30. A great tool for teaching younger children foreign language is through flash cards, these can be taught with both English and Spanish/French or any other language of your choosing (although these cards happen to only be in Spanish or French.) Teaching a foreign language with vocabulary flash cards is a great start to broadening your child’s vocabulary by building a basic foundation on which you can constantly add on to as your child ages. These flashcards come in either French or Spanish and include the basic objects that most beginners start with as well as a handy pronounciation guide so you can teach your child (and yourself!) if you are not already versed in the language you choose. Each set of cards has 56 individual cards and they are all beautifully illustrated.

These particular flashcards are available from LandofNod.com; however, multilingual toys in general can now be found at most toy stores as our nation begins to expand and accept other languages.
