My friend Scott asked me to teach him Spanish and I agreed. One problem, none of the books that I had ever read taught Spanish effectively and as a person who spoke Spanish, if I ever had to learn through those books, it would have been a nightmare. Now I had to develop my own idea because I wanted Scott to speak Spanish the proper way. And I also hoped that this would help me with my children because I had been away from them. Hey, this would be a great way for me to be spending quality time with them and all the while be teaching them Spanish. Well, that was my hope anyways.
Alright, I came up with the idea of using the English language because it was something that Scott was familiar with and a tool that I could use to teach him. After teaching Scott for about a month my Spanish speaking friends were like, “Wow, how are you teaching him, because he is speaking like one of us. I explained to them that I had developed this new concept and it was working wonderfully. And after teaching Scott I helped two other students and they really learned faster with my idea. The idea worked so well that I decided to create my own book. And I did!
Now I would like to share something very humbling with you. As I had never thought about this before but God shared His idea with me. I had always believed that I had created this idea all by myself but the truth of the matter was, that God shared His idea with me, and He was very kind because He gave me all the tools that I needed to complete the book. And every time I think about it, it becomes clearer to me each day. I just want to say thank you Lord for sharing this Great Idea with me. I would also like to share one of those moments with you. I had decided to name this book, “Parents, teach your child/ren Spanish,” because I had made it so easy that a parent could teach their children not even knowing Spanish, but as I was thinking of the English words and Phonics, my thought process was cut off and the words, “Spanglish, how to speak Spanish using English Words and Phonics,” were said to me. And something rang in me that said, “Hey, that’s a great idea so I changed the title of the book and as I pondered on this, I believed that this was from the Lord and it was such a fitting title.
Thank you, Lord.
