Try memorizing the alphabet, it will help you with spelling the words and sounding them out. I didnt know how to read or write in spanish, just talk and not very good. But in a couple of months i now know how to write read speak and all that other stuff :] then learn basic things like how to say # 1-9, then learn how to say the teen #s then learn how to say 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 and its basically just doing this;

50 in spanish = cincuenta (c-e-ne-qu-en-ta)
How to say 54 ?

4 = cuatro (qu-ah-tro)

Cincuenta y cuatro.

Its like English you know ? We say fifty = 50 so 54 would be fifty-four.

Then learn all the basics and stuff !

its when ever the parents what them to learn i think and no its not mandatory.
