The Easy Spanish

Post by Patience » Fri Jul 10, 2009 6:58 am

Anyone here used this curriculum? If so, do you recommend it? And which level would you recommend if I have a 9, 7, and preschooler?

I don't have it yet, but I am considering it. To that end I ordered the sample CD which contain's five lessons for both Spanish and French. If after a couple of weeks we like and are using it consistently I will order the whole program. I love the fact that I can order a sample, I can't think of any other program that I've looked that offered more than one lesson. One lesson just does not give you enough to see if it will work for your family, KWIM?

It is funny that you should bring up this thread. I have been considering all of the options for a Spanish program and have finally decided earlier today after viewing the samples and hearing the audio samples that the Easy Spanish is the program we will go with. I have been trying to decide between the Junior and Level 1. I have a 6th grader and 3rd grader but just want an introduction to the language. I do not want something that will bog us down, so I have been trying to figure out which of these two levels would be best for my kids.

From what I understand, the Junior level is a stripped down version of the full curriculum, so if I had an older child I would probably go with the full version. It seems as if you can pick and choose the activities you want to use. I will let you know more once I receive and look at the sample I ordered.

Well, I decided I'm going to just stick with Rosetta Stone anyway and make better use of this next year rather than try to add another thing. We only did Spanish faithfully the first half of the year. The last thing I need is another curriculum to sit on my shelf! :roll: But I will definately keep this in mind for the future!
