shadah Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Has anyone heard about this or can tell me anything? http://edelsa.es/venta/index.php?route=product/category&path=59_292_71 I am very dissatisfied with what is available for spanish. I ran across this and wondered if anyone else had seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 That looks really good. I seems to have a lot more support materials than other European ones I've seen. I was also really, really unhappy with what was out there for elementary Spanish. There's no progression; most of them are stuck on nouns - how many years does it take learning colors and body parts before getting to sentences?? The best thing I found was Español para chicos y grandes, but the second level was a huge leap up, and then I was stuck again. I tried another European curriculum after that, but many of them are sparse and require a lot of filling in. I like that there's a book of extra reinforcement and review worksheets - I think that would have helped a lot. Great that it takes you through A2 level.

Blessings2all Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Didelizabeth, If you can speak to your children in Spanish, you can encourage them to speak it back to you. Ask them simple questions in Spanish that they can respond to (depending on what vocab they have learned). All languages are made up of 4 key components: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Find ways to incorporate those 4 skills into your teaching. I used La Clase Divertida and Learn Spanish with Grace plus a bit of my own stuff to teach my children Spanish when they were young. There are also some free online resources for teaching Spanish here: http://www.learningonlineblog.com/2014/02/19/teach-spanish-websites/. I hope they help you.

KeepItGoing Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I like a couple of resources for teaching Spanish to kids, which I've described on my website. Risas y Sonrisas is very appealing (I own it but haven't had a chance to fully use it yet), and I've had some success with the ¡Cuéntame! books put out by TPRS (I think there's another program by that name that is different).

americastamps Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Wow, finally. This looks like something we could use for our elementary multi age cooperative. Some of the kids have been in immersion for a year, but most have not. And the kids who have been in immersion have only been learning Spanish in math and science, so they know a lot of isolated vocabulary, but still can't even say "Hi, how are you? or My name is.... At least they've been hearing the language. I really hope we can do so much more in the co-op than what they were getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleAMom Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 We were introduced to Colega this year, and I love it. I wish we had know about this curriculum a couple of years ago when we first started homeschooling. We had been using Calico, which I enjoyed, but Colega is much more rigorous. We jumped in at Colega 3 this year, but we're going to go back and refresh some of the grammar/vocab from Colega 2. Where Calico was more focused on conversation and geared towards pre-school aged kids, Colega is grammar/writing heavy and geared towards middle-upper elementary aged kids. It can be appropriate for early elementary kids who are able to read and write. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
