Do online courses work? Do tutors work? We do not want to go to language school and have to put our child in day care all day. We appreciate any helpful suggestions, thanks!!

Wow...sounds fun. I would put yourself in preschool.
My child's preschool has everything labeled. The door, the potty, the table...you get the idea. Start with these simple items and then incorporate these items into sentences. You can write these sentences like this (but in Spanish) ex. Where is the ________? on any mirror in the house with dry erase markers to remind yourself to try to use the sentences with the Spanish words for the items you label. As you get more accustom to these simple word items then you can speak only Spanish in the home. I would also carry your English to Spanish dictionary around. You could also look for someone to come into your home and work with you. You may find someone on Craig's List...I found someone to help me with cleaning on there. Just like teaching your one year old English, you have to start simple and work your way up from there. Good Luck!

There are not only online courses but also some fairly good software packages you can buy to run on your computer.
Suggest immersion in the language as much as you can. Get a Spanish-speaking baby sitter to help you with your child, watch Telemundo or Univision, and speak nothing but Spanish to each other. Very drastic, but you probably will learn it more quickly this way.

Don't punish her! Every youngster goes to develop and gain knowledge of at their possess speed. Pushing or forcing a youngster to gain knowledge of will in most cases flip them within the reverse path. Don't punish her! A younger youngster's awareness span lasts only some seconds, so that you are not able to anticipate as a lot from her as you might say, a six yr historical. Encourage her. Read to her, alot! I might additionally advise the Baby Einstein video sequence and gambling the ABC track on a cd participant up to you'll. Just attempt to make it amusing for her and check out to not set your expectancies too prime. Don't punish her!

I let my students take their child (children) to my class. I can play with the children while they are doing their written exercises. And it's good because we have something interesting to talk about as part of the learning/classroom activities. Oh, I do one-on-one coaching or with 2 students at the most and they are normally a married couple..
So, probably you can ask the school/instructor if you can take your child with you and your husband to the classroom.
cheers..

Also, you could buy a Spanish lesson course on CDs and have it playing almost constantly. While you are going through your day you can repeat the words as you hear them and your baby will also be hearing it all too.

Try: Spanishsense.com It's like a radio broadcast that goes from "newbie" level all the way to "advanced" and it has transcripts, vocabulary, online "book work", and you can ask questions. I really like it. Then there's Pimsleurs on audio CD. There's tons of stuff if you go to a bookstore.
