deltagal Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hello, My 13 yo has a great deal of interest in learning languages. He's dabbled a bit with several, but he's eager to go deep. What is a good choice for learning German? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinD Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 What kind of price range? There's a great look one on Rainbow Resource called Tell Me More, but it's $230. I'm planning to get the French version of this, despite the price, because it looks incredible. They line up your speech beside a native speaker's so you can hear and adjust. You can customize the program, there are games to play....looks excellent. I think it's for grades 7-adult. A less expensive starter option would be something like "German in Ten Minutes A Day", about $40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftymama Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Along the same lines - What about maintaining German (or any language) for a 6 year old who learned in country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3andme Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Quite a few people on the High School boards seem pleased with Oklahoma State's German program.. Here's a good thread with several reviews of the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise1mds Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I took the OSU German course when I was in high school. I took it at our high school via satellite. It was a good program! We actually went *to* OSU at one point and got featured on the show. I learned a lot and have retained quite a bit of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltagal Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 I'll have to give all these a look. My main desire is finding a program that works for a highly visual 13 yo boy student - who gets overwhelmed easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
