We usually suggest any time from the age of two to start learning a second language. From 2-7 are the years to be capitalised upon... that's when the brain is open to this kind of thing (to put it simply!) and when the mouth is still adjusting to new language.
With regards to the latter, I can roll my Rs, which helps with Spanish - but I can't roll them in the way a Spaniard does, and I never will be able to because I began learning in adulthood; my kids, on the other hand, are bilingual and they have no problem at all with their Rs!
The guys at Whistelfritz were kind enough to send me one of their Spanish learning lacks to review - I liked it, and recommend it to those who have got plenty of mileage out of Speekee and are looking for more ways to learn Spanish.
Have you checked out Speekee TV? It's great for parents on a tight budget, at $60 for one year, or $7.50 per month. Whatever package you go for, you get two weeks free to try it out.
Your program looks very interesting! I am always on the lookout for good educational materials for teaching Spanish and French to my daughter. Are you considering becoming a Brillkids product partner and offering discount coupons for forum members? I would love to get the whole DVD set.
Yes, good idea aangeles. Let me get that discount arranged and I'll post the details on the forum.
Speekee is a Spanish language learning program for young children.
We have had a number of visitors to our website from Brillkids, and I have been recommended this forum on several occasions. It was an email from TeachingMyToddlers- a regular here - which finally got me started.
I hope to learn a lot from you all, and assist with any questions you may have regarding my specialities: Speekee and language learning for young children.

PS I attach a pic of me with Speekee, from the program!
