momof165 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 My ds 9 really, really wants to learn Italian. However, before spending mega bucks on some of the language courses out there, I bought Italian for Kids. It comes with 2 Italian language CD's, as well as a parent CD. The workbook is colorful and engaging. My son has a blast doing Italian using this one. I know, it's nowhere close to any of those sophisticated language courses out there - but (at least for us) it's a wonderful course to use. With a price tag of about $30.00 you really can't beat this one. We LOVE Italian for Kids. :thumbup: Sonja ____________________________________ Homeschooling JUSTONE - ds 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love something like this, b/c we are already doing Spanish and Latin in school. However, my will be twelve in June, and he is starting to turn up his nose at things that are more "kiddish." Can you tell me a bit more about this? Oh, and where to buy it as well, please. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I can't be of more help. Sonja ______________________________ Homeschooling JUST ONE - ds 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'll go look at the link. My guess is he will find it too young. I don't want to spend a bundle on anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
