WEDNESDAY CLASSES SPANISH OLECITO (N-JRK) Studies have shown that in order to achieve fluency learning a language from an early age is essential. Younger children are more likely than older children to be fearless at trying out a second language and this makes it easier for them to learn to pronounce words accurately and to speak without translating. No fluency in the language is necessary, just a desire to learn Spanish and have fun!
