Color label your house in Spanish!



One common strategy to learn a language is to label items that are often in your sight. When you look at the item, read the label. Over time, you should be able to look at the item and identify it without reading the label anymore! Here is a color label template that you can use to make labels for your house. Each label includes the actual spelling of the Spanish word (in bold) and a pronunciation guide based on the English language (in italics).

Alternatively, if you don't want to place the labels around the house, go ahead and color them without cutting them apart.  Then study them once a day in the same fashion, until you can look at the color and identify it in Spanish without having to read it.

Here are the translations of each, so that you can color your labels appropriately!
