freerange Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 We dabbled in French & Spanish when they were little, but now that they're studying more seriously we're focusing on French & Latin. Latin for all the usual reasons, French because we hope to visit next summer. After that probably British sign language, which I've studied, albeit a long time ago; or perhaps German, due to the proximity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetgeo Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Well, I had hubby buy ME Rosetta Stone for Christmas one year because my own Spanish was slipping since I had moved from California, where I used it more frequently, to Pennsylvania. Since then I've had the kids work casually with it, doing 2 lessons once a week. They keep repeating the lesson until they score in the 80's and then move on. They are only using the 1st tier of the lesson where there is a picture and audio only, no written stuff -- I'm going for word (sound) recognition and mental image association only for now. My kids were 6 and 8 when we started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platosacademy Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 We've been doing Latin now for 2 1/2 years, Hebrew for 1 year, and we're adding Spanish this year. Our son also wants to learn French and German (I'm fluent in both) so we'll add those into the mix as time goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanna Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 :D...and they all started Latin (Latin Primer, and now LfC) in 3rd gr (with the exception of the youngest who started it in 2nd b/c I could think of no good reason to leave him out of such a great learning opportunity).

Nancy Ann Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 We will be teaching our son Greek. We are Eastern Orthodox Christians and feel this will be a benefit to him. We will also try and do Spanish as well. We live in California and there are lots of spanish speaking people here and I think it would be useful.
