I have an aquantinence who is works at a restaurant I service. She's Mexican ( I assume) and her english is pretty good. I have only a passing familiarity with her mother tongue, but I try to talk to her in what little Spanish I know. She's always delighted to try and help me learn to say a few things now and then, and the thought occured to me yesterday that I should ask her if she would be willing to tutor my son ( and maybe even my wife and me).
Has anyone here ever done something like that? I'm sure there must be some curricula out there for DIY language lessons tailored to people who aren't professional teachers but who speak a language fluently. I'm hoping that someone here has some advice, as google is not helping me so much in this quest. I would really like for my son to have the opportunity to learn a second language while he's still young, and I would like the opportunity to learn Spanish as well.
