Murrayshire Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 My family is getting ready to use Getting Started With Spanish but I'd like something to go along with it for more practice. My 8th grader has been using Visual Link... But I'd like to find something else for my 2nd and 5th grader. Dh and I are getting into Visual Link and I've checked out Duolingo already. Any suggestions for those of you who use GSWS or have in the past? Maybe a workbook type of practice? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarynB Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The author of GSWS recommends Practice Makes Perfect Spanish workbooks. We used this one, and there are several other workbooks in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbabe Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hmmm. Been thinking of using GSWS. Gotta look at those workbooks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 My kids love Mango Language, so you might see if your library subscribes to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrayshire Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thank you TarynB....those may work for my two oldest but probably too much for my youngest. Might have to stick with Elementary Spanish videos with him while using GSWS. Happypamama, I will look at the link in my free time today! Thanks for the suggestion! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Full disclosure: we haven't used GSWS, although we are using GSWL. In 2nd my dc liked Salsa, from Georgia Public Broadcasting. Tin Man Press has a set of active worksheets we have enjoyed that involve logical thinking, small art, and lots of vocabulary. We are also slowly reading through Sapo y Sepo (Frog and Toad) a page or two at a time and then translating and talking about verb conjugations. We do each of these maybe one day a week for variety. Oh, you and your dh might enjoy listening to News in Slow Spanish - discussion of current news, a little grammar, and an idiom. I think the podcast is about 20 minutes long. ¡Buena suerte!

crazyforlatin Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 We've used GSWS and followed up with Practice Makes Perfect workbooks. We also have a tutor who converses with DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
