1pageatatime Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'm needing a curriculum which teaches vocab & grammar first, instead of speaking phrases/immersion approach. My dd (junior) is very easily overwhelmed trying to learn a foreign language. She's stated that she needs to understand what the words mean first, before she can use them in phrases/greetings/sentences. We tried The Learnables, Mango and Duolingo- she cannot stand these immersion approaches. I'm now considering-- First Start French So You Really Want to Learn French Breaking the Barrier (ipad version) I would love feedback on these programs, or a different one is fine, too. Thank you! eta- i took french in hs and college, and am confident i can help with year 1....just trying to get her past the intimidating factor at this point. thx...

Laura Corin Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 SY French might fit the bill. Have a look at the samples on the Galore Park site - it's a straightforward grammar and vocab programme. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I have never seen the Breaking the Barrier ipad version, but I prefer the BtB French (book form) over SYRWTLFrench. (we own both) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
