faithfull Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 This would be an introduction for my K-ers and the second year for my 1st/2nd grader. He was taught previously with his Kindergarten and has a pretty good foundation. _______ starting the homeschool journey mama to four spunky boys (6, 4, 4, 1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicMama Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 My daughter loves the SALSA spanish series. You can watch online here. The videos are really cute, and they have a simple activity guide. I suppliment that with the R.E.A.L. Spanish program. Also, music and plenty of read-alouds in spanish. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 At that age we used La Clase Divertida with Spanish videos, by Whistlefritz and Salsa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lang Syne Boardie Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 My youngest child is using Mango. It is similar to Rosetta Stone, but I believe it contains more grammar. Mango is free through some public libraries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prahl Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 We do simple games to teach spanish for example I use the words fast and slow in Spanish and have them go out side and shout the word kinda like " Simon says" also works with colors. Pretty much games helps them . My kids are young 3 and 4 . Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momoeight Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 My kids use Rosetta Stone and it really works! The youngest kid I have used it with was 7, but I think I will try my 5yo on it this year and see how it goes. My children have really learned Spanish using it and I would say it is well worth the $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beimao Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 We tried some Flip Flop Spanish, but I think it will work better as an add on to a better program. Which program I'm still working on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids love watching the versions with the sign language too, as it gives them more hints about what is being said. We have also enjoyed Play and Learn Spanish. I think it can be a little annoying, but the kids choose to put this CD in at night quite often. They enjoy all the little songs and rhymes.

Mango is free through some public libraries. Hey even our pathetic library has that one :lol: Our library doesn't have ANYTHING I need but they have this! OP- We are using Getting Started with Spanish this year. I am going to also do Mango and I am now going to check out those Salsa vidoes ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
