Los Colores, Las Formas, y Los Números (Colors, Shapes, and Numbers)

I had both my kids in Susy Dorn's Let's Play in Spanish classes when they were younger.  I really enjoyed the classes and the music.  They have classes in Palo Alto, Campbell, and Santa Cruz.  If you don't want to sign up for a class, you can still buy her CDs or DVDs.  She has a short video ad hosted on YouTube.

I made visual aids to go along with a few of the songs.  This way you can point to each word as you sing it.

Los Colores
 (this is sort of to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
Las Formas
 (this is to "Darling Clementine")
Los Números
 (this is sort of to the tune of "Frères Jacques")

!Feliz año nuevo! (Happy New Year!)

Okay, I'm a few days early.  But I'm really shocked that it's been almost a year since my last post.  Actually, it's not really that shocking.  I pretty much gave up on this blog, thinking that I was foolish to think I could learn to speak Spanish well enough to teach my children.  And really, who has the time to blog?  A few really great, inspiring people actually.  They don't know it yet, but I'm totally going to start nagging them to contribute posts to my blog.  Because they're really good at it, they speak Spanish, and I'm going to beg profusely.

So, please come back and visit.  I promise to work much harder to get contributors to share their knowledge and experience, to share my own attempts, successes, and failures, and to keep learning to speak Spanish.

!Nos vemos!  (See you later!)
