heritagelearningacademy Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I took Spanish in high school and feel comfortable teaching my son who will be in 4th next year Spanish. I am learning that I prefer a traditional approach to Spanish, not immersion. I believe in conjugating verbs, etc. Now that may be to much for a 4th grader. Is there a program you would recommend? Or a traditional Spanish textbook you would suggest? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 If you want a gentle but good introduction, check out Getting Started With Spanish. Then your only trouble will be ... what to do when you are done with it. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoxcell Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I was going to suggest Getting Started With Spanish. I'm using it with my 9 and 7 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We are also using GSWS this year for my 4th grader. :) Seems to be a popular pick!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................... Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Well I felt the same way but in desperation tried Rosetta Stone...and it is pretty awesome...so if you don't come up with something else, give RS a try. We use the online version on the iPad, and the app is amazing. A bonus is that it's so fun my dd will ask to do it during down time, and even my son will sit and watch.

Chrysalis Academy Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Just started using GSWS here with my 5th and 1st graders, but am all ears about what might come next . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 You also might check out Breaking the Spanish Barrier and Spanish Para Chicos y Grandes. Sorry I can't link from here. They look like more traditional programs. Also, one of our local libraries hosts Mango languages which might be a nice "free" supplement - I don't know how it compares to Rosetta Stone.
