Mary in MN Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 We're having a frustrating experience with Secondary Spanish--some of the answers seem to be incorrect in the program. It also doesn't seem to explain the grammar behind sentences students are supposed to construct. :confused: Is this typical of SOS programs? I haven't done all of lessons with him, but the ones I have looked at don't offer much explanation--just gives a bunch of sentences and then expect the student to pick up the pattern. That's too whole to parts for us. Or is my ds just not looking at the lessons carefully enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
periwinkle Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 We are trying Secondary Spanish for the first time with my eighth grader since it is supposed to be easier than SOS Spanish I (which I had used with my oldest ds a few years back.) I am not impressed with Secondary Spanish and MUCH PREFERRED the Spanish I course! I DO NOT like that grammar is not introduced and tons of vocabulary are thrown at the student with very little practice...argh! I have started to supplement with studyspanish.com and my own vocab sheets. We really liked the high school Spanish I course when oldest ds used it, although it is rigorous. It does use some whole to parts conversational learning in the first unit, but introduces grammatical concepts shortly after that. It contained a few computer glitches, also, but nothing we couldn't work through easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
