Any links to good curriculums for foreign
languages that work well with the Robinson Curriculum, and that a child
can use independently, or ideas for the study of foreign languages?
If so E-mail me at joyfullighteducation@yahoo.com
and I will consider adding a link to the site.
Our family just bought 2 CD's from Teach me Tapes Inc. The CD's contain popular children's songs sung in English, and the language chosen for that CD. We have the French and the Spanish CD's. You can also buy Chinese, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, and Russian. Through these CD's the child can get a feel for the sound of that language, and learn how to say basic words in that language like: mother, father, brother, dog, house, numbers, the alphabet, good morning, good night, the days of the week . . . Some of the songs on the tapes may include: The More we Get Together, Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes, Mary Had a Little Lamb, The Wheels on the Car, Jack and Jill, and Six Little Ducks, with several others. Even my 3 year old is loving the CD's and trying to learn to count in Spanish! Suggested age for these CD's are for ages 2-12.
The Learnables - If my daughters do get an interest in learning a foreign language, this will be one curriculum I will be checking into further! This is a beginning and intermediate foreign language course made so that a child can learn the language on their own without a tutor. There is no special teachers guide. Made for ages 7 through adult. Languages offered are Spanish, French, German, Russian, Hebrew, Japanese, Chinese, and Czech. Also you can buy a CD containing Bible stories told in Spanish, German or French. (This comes separate from the curriculum.)
www.rosettastone.com - I have not seen this program either, but I hear that it is completely self teaching.
Artes Latinae - Latin Curriculum - self-teaching. I have not seen this program.
The Easy French - French Curriculum that teaches French in a phonetic way. Uses a similar method to the "Writing Road to Reading". Is Christian based where the student also memories scripture in French. Comes on audio CD and a CD for printing the worksheets out on your own computer. Can be used with a variety of age groups.
