    We have finished all the instant-replay videos, looking into Rosetta Stone, but there seem to be mixed reviews. There also seem to be lots of fun looking options for younger ages, but anything else for 8-10 year olds? Neither my husband nor I speak spanish, but we have a large hispanic population in our neighborhood and would love our children to learn, so the hope in them learning is mainly for conversation purposes. Any input is greatly appreciated!

    I’m very eager to hear opinions, too.  We have RS and I don’t care for it at all.  I am particularly interested in Switched on Schoolhouse at the moment.  It seems to get some really good reviews.

    I don’t think any homeschool language curriculum is really going to be “the curriculum.” I tried “El Espanol Facil” and it makes sense to me and seemed logical and all, but my kids just didn’t click with it. Someone did actually pick up a word from Little Pim the other day. (But that’s for preschoolers). I think the perfect thing to do is find a Spanish speaking child and do play dates. 🙂

    We have really enjoyed La Clase Divertida. It is a video curriculum put out by a homeschool family. I am using it with my second set of kids now. This time we are not doing any of the supplemental workbook and crafts. They really enjoy it. The learning may seem slow at first but I think by the end of the three year curriculum they learn a fair amount. I know Charlotte advocated that earlt language learning should be conversational and I think this curriculum gives that flavor.

    I second La Clase Diveritda. My oldest did level 1 in 1st grade and level 2 in second grade. We did not use the activity book because he didn’t write well at that point, but now that he can write well we will get a lot more out of level 3. It is based on praciticing a little every day through the DVD, CD, or activity book depending on the day. Another family I know uses it with kids ages 7 and 10, and they also really enjoy it.
