How does the program work?
Great question! Our program features live classes where children are exposed to natural language acquisition through fun and engaging activities like singing, dancing, cooking, arts and crafts, and science experiments. We leave behind boring grammar lessons and focus on allowing them to develop the language naturally. Classes are held three times per week, with four different schedule options. Students can join the class that best fits their schedule on any given day. During class, only the teacher's camera is on to minimize distractions. Students communicate with the teacher through chat, ensuring they can focus and practice their Spanish.
How will we be able to access the online classes?
You will be given immediate access to our BilingualMe course portal, which includes an introduction to the course and a kid-friendly display of the recurring topics divided by week. Each Sunday, the topic for the upcoming week will be posted, along with a list of any course materials needed for that week’s classes (if applicable). Everything you need to start your bilingual journey will be provided, ensuring a smooth and engaging learning experience for your child.
Do I need to purchase different memberships for multiple students?
No, you only need to purchase one membership for your entire family. Each student can use their own device or participate together.
Will my children need support during class?
Sometimes, depending on the activity and the student's age, parental supervision is encouraged. For activities like cooking and science experiments, we recommend that parents be present to help support your child and ensure a safe and smooth experience. This also allows the whole family to join in the fun and learn Spanish together!
Please keep in mind, our cooking, science experiments, and arts and crafts activities are designed to be simple and easy to follow. Our main goal is to foster language development while engaging students in fun, hands-on projects.
My children are all at different levels with their Spanish. Will this be a good fit for us?
Absolutely! Our program is designed with beginner Spanish students in mind, but as a Spanish immersion program, it allows students of all levels to learn Spanish naturally and intuitively. Activities such as cooking, dancing, science experiments, and arts and crafts involve a vast vocabulary and language expression, benefiting all ages. We currently have students of various ages, including middle schoolers, successfully completing the program through a 1:1 private tutoring approach.
Do we have to attend all classes?
While it's wonderful to attend all classes, it is not required. Students can view the weekly schedule and choose which classes to attend. Recordings of the classes are available the morning after the class has taken place and remain accessible for up to two weeks.
What if we are not able to make a class?
No problem! Recordings of the classes will be available the morning after they take place and can be accessed for up to two weeks, so you can catch up at your convenience.
Are the instructors native Spanish speakers?
Yes, our instructors are native Spanish speakers.
Do you have a small group version of this program?

Though if you have questions, you can always message us. We are more than happy to clear up any questions.
My child is 4 years old can they join?
Thank you for your interest in our program! The course is tailored for children aged 5-10 years old, but 4-year-olds are more than welcome to join. Please note that for younger students, parental support will be needed to help them fully engage and succeed in the class. We look forward to having you and your child on this exciting bilingual journey!
