Don’t leave it too late and start learning a language now!

I often get asked what I do and when I tell them I write stories to help children learn Spanish and French, I inevitably get into a discussion about languages. This happened only the other day when a man told me how he would have loved to have learnt a language when...

Mini Sponges Spanish classes!

Time and and time again we get asked after our story times if we teach languages so we have finally decided to start Mini Sponges Spanish lessons! We have made the decision to start with Spanish sessions first and then we will introduce French sessions next year. Our...

Ann Summers HQ to learn more about women in business!

OK so it may not seem entirely appropriate associating Ann Summers with children's books but all is not as it seems... As you may know JaJaJa Books won a Women On Wednesday twitter award with Jacqueline Gold last year which resulted in us meeting up with her in March....

Learn while you eat at La Tasca!

Meet Amelia and Amélie Go To Le Zoo!

We have loved the response that we received for our first two books, "Lucy and Lucia Play Hide and Seek" and "Phillip and Felipe Become Best Amigos". Parents constantly write in saying how their child has picked up lots of new Spanish words and generally started to...

It’s a Jungle out there!

One thing that JaJaJa love to do is work with other local businesses. It is so important in these financial times to support one another and encourage people to start a new business and thrive. When we found out a new play centre was opening in Colchester last year we...

English boys in France learning Spanish!

We just had to write something about this! Two brothers, 11 and 4 years of age, who recently moved to France, decided to record themselves reading Lucy and Lucia  Play Hide and Seek. Not only do the boys give the Spanish a good go, but we are equally impressed by the...
