Who am I?
I’m Naomi Noyes. A Spanish teacher, twin mamá, forest school educator, and lover of all things nature. Seeing families teach their kids Spanish at home fires me up. I believe in outside-the-box language education that gets children off a screen and into the natural world.
So, I got to work applying my near-decade’s-worth of Spanish teaching experience, and created engaging online Spanish courses for families who want a hands-on curriculum to help them take their language learning outside.
You can’t make your child speak a language. However, you can set the stage so they will want to speak it.
the time is now!
Your young children are primed and ready for language learning!
Various studies have identified a critical period between the ages of birth to six years, during which the human brain is especially responsive to learning spoken language.
Children exposed to a second language during that time perform as well as native speakers, establishing an authentic accent and a deeper understanding of language. Don’t let another moment pass you by! Con mi Familia is here to give you all the tools you need to raise a bilingual child, and have fun doing it.
If you truly want to create a bilingual home, one that has Spanish woven into every part of your day - this course is for you.

This course is really made for families who want to speak Spanish TOGETHER. It isn’t just about your child learning Spanish because, really, I am teaching you how to teach them. I am giving you (as the adult) weekly lessons on pronunciation so you can use the words correctly for your children. They are sponges, they will copy what you say! If you can say it, they can say it. I am teaching you how to read to your children in Spanish so that they can be exposed to it not just at school or while with a native-speaking caregiver, but so that Spanish can become a part of your family’s life. If you, as the grownup, don’t want to learn how to speak Spanish, then this course is not for you. If it has always been your dream to raise your child to speak another language and to create bilingual building blocks that will last them a lifetime, then I think you would love this course.
Speaking Spanish with your children does not need to be all or nothing. I am a non-native Spanish speaker and several people have asked me if I’m concerned about teaching my children Spanish in a “non-native” way. My response? No way! It’s better than nothing! Life isn’t perfect, language isn’t perfect, and it doesn’t need to be all or nothing. Many parents don’t expose their children to another language because they don’t know it well enough, but by doing so you are holding both your children and yourself back! Even learning some words or songs here and there will help your child learn and experience the fluidity of language, something that will not only create more opportunities for cognitive development but will also serve them later in life. So, first and foremost, let go of the idea that you can’t teach your child Spanish because you don’t speak Spanish. You can. I can help you. It doesn’t need to be perfect, and something is better than nothing.
You can absolutely still use this course! I always say this is more for beginning or intermediate Spanish speakers but if you have a preschool age child learning the basics – this would be a great curriculum to follow to help them speak it every day!
Woo! I love that go-getter attitude! My answer is a blunt one, nope. Fluency takes years of practice and exposure and immersion. Here’s the thing, that doesn’t mean that you won’t get there one day. This course helps you lay the foundation for a bilingual childhood full of enthusiasm and creativity. Each series that I offer will build upon previous ones to slowly get you speaking, reading, singing, and listening to more and more Spanish every day. Just as your children’s language skills grow daily and monthly and yearly in English, so too will your skills with Spanish.
This course is designed to fit many different learning styles for every home! You can keep your own learning primarily online with the course platform, or you can print out the entire curriculum with a digital PDF download. This course is made to work for you. You can print as much or as little as you would like. Your child never has to access any online portion of the course! There are story time videos, but they are all optional. The majority of online videos are for the adults learning Spanish.
