Learning a new language Hello! My daughter is 2.5 and is attending Spanish immersion school. I am trying my best to incorporate Spanish into her everyday life at home but I really only speak English. So far I’m mostly doing audiobooks in Spanish and Spanish music. I’m also trying to learn Spanish but….I find I stutter really bad when trying to say phrases. It’s really frustrating as learning a new language is hard enough without also having to deal with a stutter on these new sounds and words. Any advice? Just keep practicing? I’m losing patient with myself. I’d like to learn the language as well so we can converse in Spanish (I work a job where knowing Spanish is very helpful). Thank you!
