Maela Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I want to begin Spanish with my 5yo dd. She has been watching SALSA videos for a couple of months and knows her numbers to 20. She's a quick learner, and she can read very well and write well. I took a few years of Spanish in high school and college. I'm good with pronunciation and okay with understanding Spanish when I hear it, but I can't form correct sentences myself. I would love for our whole family to be fluent some day. Can anyone recommend a good curriculum for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 If we were learning Spanish, I would probably try Getting Started With Spanish. I haven't actually seen or tried it, but we loved Getting Started With Latin, and its approach was excellent for young ones. It definitely taught my DD to form sentences correctly. There's no writing, which was a plus for her. I think it would have been doable even if she hadn't been reading; it could definitely be done completely orally. I am assuming that the Spanish one would be similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitterpatter Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 This is what we're doing right now. After this, I think we're going to use School Song Spanish. DD is 5.5 years old. My goal right now is to take it slow so that the material is absorbed, not just a bunch of stuff for her to memorize and then forget. You can't really drop a language once you start or a lot of what's been learned will be lost. DD has so many years of Spanish ahead of her that I want it to be as much fun as possible right now. http://bluehouseschool.blogspot.com/search/label/Teach%20Them%20Spanish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
