Hispanic Heritage Month is September 15-October 15. This is a time to celebrate Hispanic culture and the contributions that Hispanic Americans have made to the U.S. I can’t think of a better time to start teaching your child Spanish. Don’t speak Spanish yourself? Not to worry! My amiga Boca Beth has got you covered!  Her bilingual learning materials make Spanish fun and easy for both kids and parents.  My kids and I learn Spanish from Boca Beth, and I can tell you first hand that her materials are awesome!  The songs are upbeat and easy to understand.  But above all, Boca Beth exudes the warmth and enthusiasm of a favorite teacher. Her joy is contagious, and that’s what I believe forms the foundation for lifelong learning.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Boca Beth has generously offered to give one lucky Foreign Language Fun reader a Boca Beth Beginner Set.  The set (pictured above) includes:

• “Mi Casa/My House” DVD
• “My First Songs in Spanish” CD
• BOCA, the loveable puppet
• A bilingual coloring/activity book (40 fun pages!)
• A How To Guide for second language instruction

It’s a $31.99 value! Entering’s simple.  Just visit the resource area of Boca Beth’s site and return here to leave a comment about a useful FREE resource available there.
