Welcome to the U.S. History Abroad Family!

Before you go, I want to tell you about TalkBox.Mom, the foreign language program I am using with my children! 

They offer Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese {Mandarin} in their full program!

Are you tired of ...

• Not being able to help your child with their foreign language courses by supporting them at home?
• Consuming mass amounts of grammar and vocab but not being able to talk?
• Living in a place where it's hard to make friends or checkout at the grocery store because you can't use the language?

• Wasting time and money on programs that don’t have you or child talking?
• Not talking to your child in a language you know even though you speak it in a religious, university, or work setting?
• Being a native speaker who is ashamed that your child answers in English?​

Nothing sounds worse than wasting time and money on language programs that don’t have you and your child actually talking... when you're only in a country for so long. ​

HERE’S THE SECRET…
As a parent, you’re actually the MOST successful language teacher in the world.
Think about it…
Who taught your kids English?!
YOU!
TalkBox.Mom helps you to talk in a foreign language with your family the same way you taught your kids English: talking as life happens!
(yes, even if you know nothing or everything)

TALKBOX.MOM IS DIFFERENT

DAY 1: YOU TALK
​You’ll talk in your new language with your family on the same day you start. You don’t have to wait until year two or NEVER.

MADE BY NATIVE SPEAKERS
Our team of native speakers wants you to sound like a family from their country. AKA: No outdated translations or computer formulated responses. This is the real deal with native speaker audio.

FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
​You can use the entire program for the whole family NOT just for one student! This will help you to work together and save money!

HOW DOES TALKBOX.MOM WORK?

Our TalkBox.Mom boxes are our main tool that help families to start talking right away.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
In each box, there are 3 different challenges to help you get really specific.
The layouts change in each box depending on what you are learning.
The first box is The Snacks & Kitchen Box.
Here’s a peek of the core challenges.

CHALLENGE 1

CHALLENGE 2

CHALLENGE 3

Our layouts are so smart and beautiful, that you won’t realize you’re learning hundreds and thousands of new phrases.

HOW TO USE THE TALKBOX

Step 1:
​Put up your language guide in your home or use with the activity.
(Not hidden in a binder!)

Step 2:
​Practice with the native speaker audio. Families typically spend 5 – 20 min a day practicing.

Step 3:
Use the phrases as life happens. Move on to the next challenge after 1-4 weeks.

STEP 1: PUT UP YOUR GUIDE.

1) The language guide goes up in your home where you can see and refer back to it. Not hidden in a binder!

2) Read through the English to get an idea of what phrases you’re using. So if your child whines, “I’m hungry,” you can say, “Let’s whine that in Spanish!” (or whichever language) Then you can look at the chart together if you need to remember how to say it.

3) If your child is older and rummages the kitchen, whenever they want food, they need to ask if you want any. So they’re speaking Spanish, and you’re getting food. Unless they eat it all, which then they can say in Spanish, “We’re all out.”

STEP 2: PRACTICE WITH THE NATIVE SPEAKER AUDIO

YES, EVERYTHING HAS AUDIO!

Let your children choose 2-5 phrases you want to start saying in Spanish, for example! Heart those in the app, so they show in the “We are learning section” on all your devices.

You only need to practice for 5-15 minutes a day. Focus on mastering a couple phrases over a small amount of time rather than trying to do everything all at once.

QUICK TIP
I love practicing the audio at bedtime! It’s part of our routine of brushing teeth, putting on pajamas, reading, and saying prayers. And when you slip it into your routine, you won’t forget. Plus, your kids might want to practice a lil’ longer to stay up a tad bit more!

STEP 3: USE THE PHRASES AS LIFE HAPPENS

The magic happens when you use the phrases with your family!

Like, when you’re cooking breakfast, and your youngest says, “¿Quieres más?” (Do you want more?) And you’re like, “We just STARTED! And you’re already speaking Spanish unprompted?!”

Focus on using the phrases you are learning or guiding little ones to say them word by word whenever you have the opportunity!
​
Whether you’re a beginner or a native speaker, your family will all be on the same page, using the same phrases to increase the areas of where you can speak.

This program is amazing. My husband and I are advanced but learning so much. We have been using Japanese and enrolled our oldest in Japanese school. But after 1 week of TalkBox.Mom, my kids are speaking more Japanese than I have heard from them since they started talking.
