Foreign Language is not mandatory in New York as a homeschooler but many families add in language because it boosts vocabulary, helps to get a job and colleges require a foreign language course. Since Spanish is one of the most spoken languages in the world, why not check out what your child should be learning. There are programs you can use like Duolingo, Muzzy, Little Pim for the little ones. You can also switch tv shows and movies into another language and put subtitles on.
