It such a great idea to expose young children to a new language.
It's easier to do if you make it fun. Websites like, Speekee, which I was allowed to try out a free 3 month membership for review, keep the idea of fun in mind.

My Thoughts on Speekee
Here is a pic of my 6 yr old exploring the Speekee universe on my laptop
My son is 6 years old. He is extremely bright. He can read at a really accelerated level. He loves to learn new things. Learning languages is something that he has always enjoyed trying to do.
Now, is he entirely fluent in another language other than English? No, but websites like Speekee
are a perfect way to help him get even better.
He really enjoys Speekee because of how interactive it is. He can create his own character, walk around several different areas on the map, and visit his own room, where he can collect cool items, each time he completes a challenge.
He can watch several different videos of other kids speaking in Spanish and teaching him new words and phrases.
I love how much fun he has whenever he is on the site. He has been repeating several of the things that he's heard on the site, which is great :)
It is a really easy site for him to understand and get around with no issues.
Speekee is a great tool for children because it has fun music, puppets, fun challenges, and more.
