Spanish For The Whole Family


This year I have two teenagers who need a foreign language for high school credit, a husband who would like to sharpen his Spanish speaking skills, a whole bunch of Littles who think it would be fun to learn a different language, and a mom who doesn't want to be the only one who doesn't know what everyone else is saying.

The Spanish language has entered our lives with gusto.

When I was trying to figure out which curriculum to use I was surprised how many options were out there.  My husband heard really good things about Rosetta Stone, so we ordered that and downloaded it onto the computer.   That was a no brainer, easy peasy.

But, what about about the Little ones among us?  I wanted something that was fun, easy to teach and something that would keep their attention.  I think I might have found it!

 

Foreign Languages for Kids by Kids.  It just so happened that at the time I was looking for a curriculum, this company was also looking for ambassadors for their lessons.  Sounded like a win-win to me.


My children are really loving it.  It is a video curriculum that is divided up into many short video lessons.  They are all done by children in everyday situations.  They want to watch the lessons over and over.  They are always asking if it is "their turn."  My oldest daughter, who is 7, even got out a piece of paper to write down some of the words so she would remember them.

I think we are off to a good start.  I am anxious to see how well they retain the language they are learning.  I am hoping that it is fun, but also a productive way to spend their time.

So, are you looking for a fun way to teach Spanish?  Click this banner and you will be able to sign up for a free trial.  You can watch demo videos so that you can get a feel for the lessons.  Take a peak for yourself!


I am an affiliate with Foreign Languages For Kids.  If you purchase through my blog I will receive a small commission.  It does not change the cost for you.  They have also given me a subscription for my honest opinion, which I am sharing with you here. I will be posting again in a couple of months to give another update on our progress.  Happy learning!

    1. That's wonderful Erin! I think Rosetta Stone is too much for my Littles, too. This seems to be the right s balance for them. Thanks for visiting. :)
