If you live in the Austin area and want to brush up on your Spanish skills, or teach a child to learn Spanish, there’s a really fun way to do it without buying expensive programs or even taking a class. You can do it by immersing yourself (or your child) into literature and films that you are already familiar with, but that are in Spanish. The best of these, of course, are of the children’s variety, since they have simpler words that are more often used in conversation—and that are easier for us to learn and understand.
