Inexpensive way for kids to learn Spanish!
Hi.
My child (7years old) loves to learn Spanish and I don't speak the language.
We check out books to read, audio books, videos, etc., but there's nothing like having conversations:)
Are there any groups, classes, etc., that might not be too expensive in the Bay Area? Maybe a great place to meet and hang out with native speaking Spanish children?
Any and all suggestions welcome:)
Thank you.

Take a look at Italki: https://www.italki.com/home. It's a language exchange where you can search for certified teachers or community tutors. Many work with absolute beginners and kids, and they tend to be very warm and friendly. Once you set up a free account, you can search for teachers and specify your criteria (time, day, works with children/works with absolute beginners). Rates are $4 to 20/hour for Spanish teachers, with $12-14 common. Half hours are also possible, and they work through Skype. I have had wonderful teachers there and can't say enough about how pleased I have been with the experience. Good luck!
Try WISH montclair (http://wishmontclair.com/). Sylvia is lovely with the kids and she makes learning Spanish fun! Pretty reasonably priced as well. My son is in a dual-immersion school and needed more Spanish support. He loves his classes there. She does all levels and will informally test your child to place him/her.
