From the founder
Created by a teacher, built on a clear method
Claudia de la Roche · Teacher Claudia D. · Founder, author and narrator
I founded SparkLlama to make Spanish feel possible in classrooms and homeschools, even if the adult teaching doesn’t speak Spanish. I write the stories, design the activities and narrate many stories and adventures myself, in clear, neutral Latin American Spanish, and I make sure all audios and recordings are with an accurate pronunciation always. SparkLlama resources are built on a pedagogical structure that is the result of many years of my work, so each activity has a clear structure and purpose.
Questions
Before you start
Do we need to speak Spanish at home?
No. The Spanish Pathways adventures are in Spanish, and the guide and audio support the parent or teacher, whether or not they speak Spanish. You model what you can; the audio carries the pronunciation.
Does my child need to read before starting?
No. Reading is shared, never required.
What ages is it for?
Current resources are designed for children around 5–7, played with a parent or teacher.
What about safety and privacy? Do I need an app, an account or a subscription?
The adventure runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. No child profile, and no personal data about you or your child. The Demo is Free to play, the complete program is a paid product with a parent or teacher account access only.
