Viva El Espanol

My daughter loves her Spanish classes above all things. They color, they sing, they play. And you know what? They also learn quite a bit of Spanish. My child is just in the process of moving up from the pre-​K/​Kindergarten level to the Elementary level. I am very excited to see her enjoying a language class so much, and also very pleased that these classes are progressive – children can learn more with each passing year! Very happy to have these classes here in Alameda.

Viva El Espanol offers Spanish lessons for pre-​schoolers through elementary aged kids and has locations in Lafayette, Pleasanton and Alameda. We live in Oakland, about equal distance between Lafayette and Alameda, so my kids go to classes at both locations. We’ve had a great time with the two teachers in Alameda.
The teachers are so smart, sweet, creative and patient with the kids… my 6 year old raves after every class!
Jorge Liceaga’s «Parent & Me — Música» class is super fun. Jorge is an amazing performer who can play so many instruments and knows how to keep the kids (and their parents) engaged and enjoying themselves, even if they/​you don’t know a ton of Spanish (see his bio from his group Cascada de Flores at
). I’ve been to other «Mommy & me /​music for toddlers» classes and this is the absolute best (I promise it’s more exciting to sing Itsy Bitsy Spider in Spanish!).
