Hi there, Has anyone had their student do German 1 with Oklahoma State online www.germanonline.okstate.edu I would love to hear some feedback on what you loved or did not love about it. Thanks Sherid

Updated in post #67 with my review of CLRC's German 1 that I ended up signing DD#1 up for. Please post your reviews of German 1/2/3 if you feel comfortable doing so. Bluebonnetgirl is looking for a German 1 class for her ds for next year. ----------------------------------------- I bumped an old thread on the K-8 board with this question, but thought I might get more feedback here, so I'm cross-posting just my post: I'm looking for online German 1 for my dd#1 who wants to add another language. She does well with live classes & loves languages. Finding a good teacher is key for this kid. Here are the options I've seen so far: WTMA, CLRC, some former Landry teachers (that I'd have to search around a little bit for), Potter's School, Oklahoma State Online German (last resort), and (ETA: Kolbe Academy), BYU (not live?). Anyone want to chime in with recent (including this year) experiences? I'd love to have feedback on any of the live classes and teachers. She'll only have time to get through German 2 since she'll be a Junior next year (probably - she's actually a sophomore-by-age in the state we live in, but I've always considered her a grade higher) so availability of German 3 or above isn't really a problem.

Hi, I am looking for a good intro German course for our dds (11 & 13). We have been considering OSU and then came across CLRC's Young language courses. Their Young German class is taught by a native speaker, Sonja Dionysius. If you are using another intro to German for middle school age I would like to hear about it as well. Thanks,

The Well-Trained Mind has been in the classical education business for over 15 years, providing homeschooling families with high-quality, ground-breaking resources that combine the best of the classical tradition with innovative teaching methods.

We also offer one-semester courses, including Study Skills, Socratic Seminar Discussion, Geography, Grammar, SAT exam preparation, physical education, and several levels of creative writing. Here's what our parents have to say: "My daughter is in the WTMA Algebra 1 class this year. She was so nervous... math was her least favorite subject. Oh, the anxiety it would produce! I have heard her exclaim that she loves math this year and her WTMA teacher is one of her favorites. (And I am wiping sweat off of my brow.)" "...in the past two weeks, our child has actually proclaimed that she is enjoying writing. Awesome!! She is much more focused, diligent and enthusiastic about tackling the assignments." "I've used other online schools. I can honestly say, WTMA has been the best experience!" Preview our courses to see how classical online learning works, then register soon. Classes began September 6th (recordings are available for any missed lectures) and are filling quickly! www.wtmacademy.com

My daughter just recently realized that the Words with Friends App now has the ability to play in some foreign languages so she has been challenging her brothers in Spanish and I have played in German against my son who is learning that. Any other ideas of games that can be played in other languages? I know you can get Bananagrams and Scrabble in foreign language editions.

Hi forum, this is probably a long shot, but are there any homeschooling families in Kansas City area, who are bilingual in German and/or Russian? I am hoping to find like-minded people and give the children the opportunity to speak with someone else then the parent all the time. And also to be able to exchange ideas on bi- or trilingual homeschooling. Hope to find someone :) Christina
