TIP: Speak to Your Kids, Friends, or Family

One of the things I've noticed lately is that speaking to your kids (or friends, spouse, etc.) on a daily basis even if they don't speak the language has a huge impact.

I routinely use phrases like "A donde vas?" or "Que quieres?" with my son. He now knows what I am asking, and responds in English most often. The weird thing is, after so much repetition, I also don't think about the English translation!

Now I'm starting to try to say other, more complicated things using what I'm learning.

It really helps retention.
