Dustybug Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm looking for a light introduction to spanish for my children to use next year. They will be 6 and 4. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyGF Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 The Let's Play in Spanish CDs and booklet. Listen in the car and you'll be surprised how much vocab is painlessly picked up. Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristinannie Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I was going to do Sube, but ended up deciding to do German instead. Sube does require you to have some understanding of Spanish, but you can still do it as long as you can pronouce Spanish. The lady who created it is very helpful and I actually talked with her on the phone a few times. Sonrisas and Sing'n Speak Spanish were my 2nd and 3rd choices. A lot of people do Discovery Streaming, but I wanted to be involved and learn more Spanish with them (I know a little Spanish since I grew up in So Cal).

Aurelia Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 They might like La Clase Divertida or the Whistlefritz videos. Salsa Spanish is also good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeturn Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Kids love Salsa. It's free and I learn along with them. Google Salsa Spanish videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelli Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Here is the link to the Salsa Spanish videos: http://www.gpb.org/salsa/term/episode Here are free lesson plans to go along with the videos. They give you a guide for using the videos to teach Spanish from K-2. http://edu.wyoming.gov/Programs/standards/foreign_lang_content_and_standards.aspx BTW, my dds love them!

Bloggermom Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 You should look at I Can Read and Speak in Spanish (Book + Audio CD) by Maurice Hazan My First Spanish Word Book Play and Learn Spanish with Audio CD, 2nd Edition These all get great reviews and can easily be used with really young kids.

Xilka Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 We're a bilingual family, and I created this site for keeping my Spanish resources together. All the links are to free, quality websites with games and activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoo_keeper Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 My older 2 are the same ages. I recently went a little Spanish crazy and here's what I did - Our curriculum will be a combination of ... (a) Salsa videos (free downloads, burnt to disc, free lesson plans and scripts but I'm skipping those for now) (b) WhistleFritz videos (free from the library) © Scholastic's Let's Find Out Spanish magazine. The subscription follows the academic year, and the prorated charge was like $7.50. (d) Learnables through HSBC. This was the biggest expense - $90 I think. It hasn't arrived yet so no idea how it will work out. (e) The Fun Spanish, $25. This arrived yesterday and the girls keep asking to translate more sentences! (f) I'm eyeballing Getting Started with Spanish. I've downloaded the audio and have the book on my purchase schedule tentatively for a few more months out. (g) Finally, I'm still contemplating an Amazon Prime membership so we can stream Plazo Sesame or Aprende Con Sesame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
