High School Foreign Language?
High School Foreign Language?
Do we know yet the recommendations for Foreign Language for High school. I need to finalize some decisions on that route and I am very interested in HOD's plan. Something simple and time conservative would be a blessing!
With Joy!

Bumping up this question! I will have a 10th grader using the new Geography guide, but need to start Foreign Language for him too. Would love a nudge in the recommended direction.
I've done all the guides now with at least one child and still feeling the HOD LOVE. LOL!

Re: High School Foreign Language?
Just wanted to mention what we are using. I searched and searched for a program that really did what I hoped my children would ultimately use foreign language for and that is witnessing. 
It's hard to find. But there is one that actually has the end goal of that for Spanish 1, Landmark Freedom Baptist. I have three kids using it and it actually has been the Spanish program I have had the best retention with as well. That is not a HOD pick as far as I know but just wanted to put it out there in case that fits the bill for someone.

We are planning to start German, and there isn't much out there for that one. I want to buy a set from Living Language but have been waiting to see Carrie's recommends in the high school guide sneak peaks. However, that elective hasn't popped up yet. I've dabbled a little using my old Berlitz materials, but wanted to find something that would be more friendly for dd to use on her own. One reason we are going with German since both dh and me know the language and would be able to help her. Another reason is that next year we hope to see a gal from Germany who lived with us 4 summers ago. Dd wants to surprise her and be able to hold a conversation with her in German. In the end dd wants to learn all the languages. I see a budding Linguist! I love learn languages, so it will be fun to see if anything takes off with her in this area.
