Mealtime and snack time are great opportunities to speak Spanish with your child. Start by talking about a few foods that you serve on a regular basis. When you have used them for several days, add a few more.
la leche – milk
el agua – water
el jugo - juice
el pan – bread
el queso – cheese
el jamón – ham
el pollo – chicken
la manzana – apple
la naranja – orange
el plátano – banana
la galleta – cookie
Don’t forget to use:
por favor – please
gracias – thank you
de nada – you’re welcome
Me gusta. – I like it. Me gusta la leche. – I like milk.
Make these words a part of your day:
- Ask ¿Quieres más (leche, queso, etc.)? (Do you want some more?)
- Write items in Spanish on your grocery list. Use the words as you shop. ¿Dónde está la leche? (Where is the milk?) Tengo cuarto manzanas. (I have four apples.)
- Cut out pictures of foods from magazines. Glue them to a paper plate to make a meal. Talk about what you are doing as you play. Tengo una manzana y pan. Me gustan las manzanas. (I have an apple and bread. I like apples.)
