Hello Everyone,
I have been looking at the online great books program from the Great Books Academy and their sister program, the Angelicum Academy (I guess it's the Catholic branch of GBA). From what I've seen on their websites, they seem similar to VP's Omnibus program, except GBA starts at 9th grade instead of 7th. I have read the threads here about all the positive experiences with Omnibus, and I was wondering if anyone out there has used GBA's or Angelicum's program? Any info is greatly appreciated!
BTW: this would be for my dd entering 7th grade, who loves literature. We also happen to be Catholic.:001_smile:
Russian Anyone?

Hello Everyone,
I purchased Rosetta Stone Russian for my dd. She really seems to like it, but because we are not familiar with the cyrilic alphabet, it makes it difficult for her to sound out the words for "boy" "girl" etc. Anyway, my question is for anyone out there who can recommend a book or lesson program that can help her with the reading aspect of russian that she lacks.
BTW: the reason she is learning russian is because dd competes in rhythmic gymnastics, and her coaches all speak russian (but not very good english) so... we are trying to bridge the communication barrier.:tongue_smilie:
