Let’s Learn Spanish Together

Diario AFA means “Daily Alma Flor Ada”: a few minutes of Spanish every day, with real language and real culture, for a lifetime of benefit!

A little every day

Pick a card, look at the picture together, and say the word in Spanish. Each card has a picture, the Spanish word, and an easy English pronunciation guide, so parents can learn right alongside their kids. Then use the word that day: at dinner, in the car, or out in the garden.

Why start young

Children who grow up with a second language gain more than vocabulary. They learn to listen closely, to try new sounds without fear, and to find a way to be understood. That builds confidence. It also opens doors to new friends, new places and new ways of seeing the world, and the habit lasts a lifetime.

Real Language, Real Culture

Diario AFA was created by Lucilla Davila, who was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She founded the Alma Flor Ada Early Learning Spanish Immersion Academy in Woodbury, Minnesota. The words come from across the Spanish-speaking world, and each one carries the culture behind it.
