This year the kids and I have been trying some new curriculum and subjects in our homeschool. They really wanted to learn Spanish and since there are so many Spanish-speaking people in our area it seemed like a great idea. I went on the lookout for a curriculum that would fit our needs. I wanted something that I could use with all the kids (ages 9 and under) and that was fairly easy to use. My high school Spanish is more than a little rusty!
Recently we’ve had the chance to try the Spanish for You curriculum. We have really been enjoying how flexible it is and the various pieces that pull together to make a great learning experience for the kids and I.

What is Spanish for You?
Spanish for You! is a program for grades 3 through high school that is divided into themes and grade ranges instead of skill levels. The packages each last a year and can be done in any order. Your kid’s skill level will grow as they work through the various themes.
Each theme includes a package that goes through several lesson units. When you purchase a theme package, you get a paperback textbook for instruction, and then downloadable lesson guides, worksheets, audio files, and some great bonus resources.
Our Experience with Spanish for You!
We started with Conversaciones, which is about being able to have conversations about the places where we live and visit such as the park, grocery store, restaurant, etc. After downloading the files and reciting the printed book in the mail, I used the textbook to help me figure out where to start. The instructions are pretty clear, telling me what to print for each lesson and what activities to do.
Each week, I printed the lesson guide pages we’d be using along with the worksheets and other materials indicated. As a part of our morning time, we would practice the recent vocabulary and go through the new lesson together. I had the kids around the table (we do morning time after breakfast) and we would practice what we’d already learned, introduce the new lesson, listen to the related audio files, and then practice the new material and vocabulary.
One thing we love is the fun games and extra activity suggestions available. My kids eat up games and so it’s a great way to get them to willingly participate in review. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="
