hands-on-mama Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Hi al! We just sponsored a child in Ecuador and my daughter is very interested in learning Spanish. I have always been interested in using Song School Spanish, so now seems like a good time. Which items are absolutely necessary to use the program. TIA Quote
Jackie Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 If you have a basic familiarity with the program, you really only need the student book and CD. I looked at the Teachers hook when I got it, but then never needed it. And the game cards are basically just playing Go Fish, matching the Spanish and English words - you can make a version yourself easily if desired or buy them. 3 Quote

MillyDilly Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Thanks for sponsoring a child in Ecuador! I did a mission trip there my first year of college so the kids in the Highland villages hold some of my heartstrings. We are learning Spanish as a family this year and are using duolingo to supplement Spanish classes we attend at the Y. The kids also play 1 Spanish game and watch 1 show (both of their choosing, typically via PBS kids. Com) every day after lunch. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk 1 Quote
EthylPie Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 My boys are using SSS and a cool app on my tablet called Duolingo. My ds (8) grabs the tablet right after breakfast for his lessons. He spends about 10 minutes a day. The app has settings to do just auditory or add in the verbal responses. The pronunciation is very clear. It is nice for him to have that independence and he really loves it and is teaching it to his 5 and 3 yr old brothers. The app constantly circles back to the first lessons so that he doesn't forget the material. If he misses too much content it will have him redo the lessons until he shows proficiency. Can't beat it for free! HTH Quote
