smdgl Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 My 16yo daughter is finishing Alpha Omega LifePacs Spanish 2 this week. I need to find (ASAP) an option for beginning Spanish 3 mid-year. I'm considering the following and would appreciate any feedback. Clase Divertida (I've emailed them but haven't heard back yet) BJU distance learning BYU online class Homeschool Spanish Academy Alpha Omega Spanish 2 was demanding (doable, but demanding), and I'd really like to dial the workload down just a notch for Spanish 3, if possible. Thanks for any insight! Cherie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smdgl Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Also, I just ran across homeschoolspanish.info with Maria Mayor. Considering this as well if anyone has any experience with her. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allearia Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I would be interested in hearing some recommendations as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 La Clase Divertida is not your option for not demanding. He considers his 3rd year an honors class and covers the final 1/3 of the college text they use and has them read 3 books. Given that you'd be transitioning from a different curriculum, you'd probably be best advised to go into the year 2 of LCD and thus be prepared for year 3. You could also consider going an alternate direction and using live online spanish tutors via skype. You can google and find services. They're surprisingly affordable, will give you a free session, include online text access, and could meet you right where you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch at Home Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Homeschool Spanish Academy is a definite option. My daughter is almost ready to start Spanish 3 mid year. I am seeing an upswing in the intensity of the program with the end of Spanish 2 but I don't think that it would be as hard as other programs. I would contact them to see how they would slot your student. They have started both of mine at the beginning which was okay as their experience was limited but you would want to make sure you were put into Spanish 3.

Serenade Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Does any company besides BJU put out a Spanish 3 course? I am capable of doing the conversation part myself, but I'd surely like the convenience of a scheduled, preset program. ETA: It looks like Galore Park goes up to Spanish 3. I've been doing some Galore Park Spanish 1 with my student, but have switched to using the Lifepacs, too, because it is so much easier to manage and keep on track with. I guess I better keep up with the Lifepacs if I want to do Spanish 3 without a class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangato3 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I'm looking at this for next year: https://shop.middleburyinteractive.com/language-courses/category/spanish. They offer Spanish 1, 2, 3 and AP with both independent and teacher supported options. (I think the AP is only with teacher support).
