Nestof3 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Book-Spanish-Grades-1-3/dp/0769685641/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258691315&sr=8-2 I am really not interested in teaching a foreign language right now in a "formal" way, but both Nathan and Ben have shown interest in Spanish words. Right now, our plate is full with language arts, math, science, history and art/music, so I do not want to commit to a program. I was looking for something light and fun. I'd love to sign up for United Streaming again for the Elementary Spanish, but I cannot justify the cost right now. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I used it and the younger version The complete book of Starter Spanish and my kids really liked it. I actually have 2 copies of The Complete book of Spanish I'm not using that are in brand new condition because I forgot I had them and then bought new ones that my kids used over a summer for fun. If you're looking to get them I'd be willing to send you mine for just the cost of postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blossom'sGirl Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I bought them from Sam's Club several years ago and always meant to do them but it just never really happened. This year, we got Getting Started With Spanish and it is now the subject that gets done every day. Mr.Linney has also recorded complete lesson explanations which can be downloaded for free from his website, and he has a native Spanish speaker to help with proper pronunciation. Each lesson is quite short and my 11 and 9 yo boys do it together. We listen to the recording and then I pause it at the exercises. I have them take turns reading and interpreting. After that I ask the other if he thinks his brother is right and then we listen to the correct answer. Even though this is a "program" it is easier for me to use than The Complete Book of Spanish because it has direction and organization.

Tenaj Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 If you want to peek at these before you buy, you may want to check out your library. Our library has them on the shelf and it was nice to hold them and then make my decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J'etudie Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 My boys are using it now and like it so far. It's simple, which is all I'm going for at this point.:D We were working through The Easy Spanish, Jr., and I needed a break in at least one subject so I bought those and some kid-level, game-based Spanish software, which is the only thing they get to do on the computer. I figure we'll do this combo for awhile and pick up Easy Spanish again later in the year or even next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I used it to supplement Spanish in about first through third grades. It's definitely written toward a younger audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
