How did you teach your children or how did you learn a second language?
I really would like to teach my children to learn Italian. They are taught Spanish in school and it isn’t that much different. I am debating as to how to approach it.
I learned at a very young age as my father would only let me speak to him in Italian. I don’t want to go about it that way for my own children as I am trying to limit the emotional scarring.
I was wondering how you taught your children or how your parents taught you. This is mainly for English speakers that were taught a language of their heritage, but I suppose situations may vary.

Spanish is a must for my daughter since she has family who does not speak english but that doesn’t mean force it on her. Since my daughter was born I associated things to her in both English and Spanish that way it’s not forceful and they remember both. My daughter is now 3 and I still don’t force it or only speak to her in spanish but I do it in a fun learning way. Ex. I will point to something and ask her what it is and if she says it in English first then I say good and then tell her how to say it in Spanish and vice versa. You don’t want your children to think you are hounding them to do it in a way where they will enjoy it and remember at the same time. Even if that means doing activities like sporting activities and teaching them Italian while they are interacting. Ex. if you want to say kick the ball you can say Da le ( that’s spanish) the ball; speak spanglish lol.
Songs are another wonderful way to do so.
My mom payed a teacher to give me private English lessons when i was a kid.
Movies, songs and internet helped a lot to learn the language.
rosetta stone or muzzy
The best way to learn would be to watch italian movies and cartoons. you have to remember that kids don’t start use big words very much. so if you want to help them learn communication with other italians, you should let them watch cartoons.
Talk to them in italian before they go to school and school will teach them the second language. That how i know 2.
I provided a very compelling incentive: learn some new words, get some food; learn nothing and get nothing.
i learned English watching tv, it just came easily, i think you can teach them if you speak to them in Italian, my dad learned a weird dialect from my grandparents and can´t speak it very well but understands everything.
i learned to speak my mothers language by watching a channel that spoke her language.
My mom taught me German by buying rosetta stone for the computer. Its pretty expensive, but it really helps you understand the language.
I was raised to speak spanish by my Dominican parents. We learned and kept up with both languages by having family who would speak to us in spanish/read to us in spanish and we would also watch spanish television & listen to music in spanish. Then it was pretty much the same for the english-us kids had English-speaking friends, went to school, watched English-language t.v. and My father, whose English was way stronger and even better than most Americans, read us books in English too. They let us make mistakes and we were allowed to speak spanglish if it was easier for us. It didn’t scar me any-I was (and still am) very proud of my bilingual status.
You already missed your best opportunity. The younger they are, the better and faster children learn a second language. It was not the early language learning that "scarred" you emotionally, but probably the inflexible attitude of your father, which of course you would not have reproduced since you knew how that felt. You will get another window of opportunity when they are in high school or college, but just informally at home will probably be out of the question by now.
