This was such a great review and inside look into this curriculum. I was originally going to go with the PDF version of Spanish 1 for next year, but after watching this you have convinced me to get the Physical version! Thank you!

@SevenInAll 3 ай бұрын

I'm really glad they have the PDF option for flexibility, but I think if you can get it, the physical set is well worth it!

@sunbakedbear 3 ай бұрын

Definitely get the physical set! I'm in Canada so the physical set was VERY expensive with the 30% exchange rate added on, but when I finally decided to go that route I'm so glad I did. It's really very well put together.

We've been using HL Spanish 1 for a while now and love it. We've slowed waaaay down from the recommended schedule but my 6yo is a big fan of the program and he's doing pretty well. I speak very rudimentary Spanish so this was a great option for me as well. Being in Canada, our poor dollar increases the cost about 30% so it took about a year for me to finally take the plunge but I got the physical set and I'm so glad I did. I can't wait to try level 2 and I highly recommend the program for anyone on the fence!

@SevenInAll 3 ай бұрын

I'll have a video on Level 2 coming soon! I am very impressed with the physical set--I am often one to go for digital options, but in this case, I think the value of the physical set is excellent. And yes, taking it slow and taking the time to play lots of review games to master vocabulary is an excellent plan with little ones who are beginner learners.

Yes, this strongly focuses on communication and conversation in Spanish, it's an excellent tool for building that foundation and helping her get comfortable using the language herself.

@tammyshoop2195 2 ай бұрын

I love how informative your videos are. Thank you! I'm nervous to use this with my granddaughter who I home educate because I do not speak Spanish and we don't have anyone near us who does. Should we introduce Spanish when she has no one to converse with at this age (5 years old) or would this be good for me to use along side her? I can't imagine how busy you are and greatly appreciate your advice. 🥰

@SevenInAll 2 ай бұрын

This is definitely designed to be used even by adults who don't speak any Spanish, but just keep in mind that it takes a little bit of extra work on your part if you don't (i.e. because I do speak Spanish, I don't need to listen to the recordings they have for how to pronounce the words. If you don't know how to pronounce the words, you'll need to listen to those recordings to learn how to say the words). The teacher's guide gives you a script for exactly what to say to teach. I would say 5-6 is very much a golden age for starting this curriculum in particular--especially if she's at the age of loving card games/board games/any of those simple games because there are a lot of games in here to get you using the language with your child. It's all about interaction between you and the child. (My child at age 5 and 6 has been obsessed with playing board and card games, that's why I say this, haha!) And it's possible that once you begin, you might notice more Spanish around you than you thought. On packages of food at the grocery store, etc.

I know it can take a while to decide if you're ready to commit! For what it's worth--I had already been impressed by Homeschool Languages and intrigued by them...but actually seeing it in person and using it (we're about 9 lessons in out of 40 in this level)...I'm actually more impressed. You know how some things look cool online but in reality aren't that cool? This was the opposite for me. ha!

Do you use multiple curriculums at the same time? Like alternating days? Or how does that look in your homeschool week?

@SevenInAll 2 ай бұрын

I actually just shared a Homeschool Schedule video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ec-CjcKZq97GqZc.htmlsi=PLcI-9_QE0xfa8d5 That shows how the various pieces come together in our homeschool week. But yes, I do often use multiple curriculums. For example: Currently using Homeschool Languages for playing with and using vocabulary as a group (the schedule video was filmed before we started this, but I slid it into our "breakfast" routine), but then my older son's Spanish is more advanced, so while Homeschool Languages gives him good practice, it's not teaching him anything that's really new to him. He is slowly working through Llamitas level 2 during his "table schoolwork" time, and that is teaching more advanced vocabulary and giving him reading and grammar practice.

@kalifianicholas7924 3 ай бұрын

Is there any element of writing or spelling in this curriculum? Or is that aspect included in the Spanish Languages 2?

@SevenInAll 3 ай бұрын

There is a workbook that goes along with Spanish 1 to incorporate a little bit more of that, but it doesn't include any writing at all in the actually lessons, and that includes Spanish 2. If using with kids who are old enough to benefit from learning to spell and write in Spanish, you could adapt lessons plans to include it by having them copy out vocabulary words from the phrase cards or vocab cards, and as they grow in being able to speak sentences, have them write out sentences in a notebook after they learn a pattern. i.e. Me gusta_____.

@ravenbird3014 3 ай бұрын

If a non native speaker completed Llamitas level 1 and wanted to switch to Homeschool Languages, would you recommend level 1 or 2?

@SevenInAll 3 ай бұрын

Depends a little bit on mastery...because completion doesn't always equal mastery, if you know what I mean? - If the child knows and can use greetings, says simple sentences with key verbs (tener, querer, estar, ser....and a few more), colors, numbers, basic pronouns, location words, emotions, common adjectives...then I think you can jump in at level 2. In Level 2, they add in a lot more verbs and get into learning the present tense conjugations of those verbs and how to use them. I will be having a video of Level 2 coming soon. For example, my oldest has completed Llamitas Level 1, and has also been exposed to Spanish his whole life---he already knows all the content in Homeschool Languages Level 1 (and more). But his little brother doesn't, and he enjoys playing the games, and I see the games getting him USING what he already knows, so it's been a good add, even for him.

@@SevenInAll That makes sense. I feel like he is very close to level 2 but not quite there. Maybe I'll buy the pdf version for level 1 just in case. Thanks.

@seveninall do you like llamaitas or this one better? Spanish is a native language for myself however not my husband so my children have been exposed but no formal lessons. Ages 4-6.

@SevenInAll Ай бұрын

@@katieprimacio_ I think it really depends on what your goals are. I like Llamitas for the more "academic" side of Spanish exposure. In Level 1 of Llamitas they are learning counting and silabas and how to follow instructions. The workbook pages are quite fun and we've always enjoyed using it. My oldest is currently using Llamitas level 2, so he's learning about sustantivos and adjetivos and identifying them in sentences, he's learning about sinonimas/antonimas, etc. But Llamitas doesn't focus on speaking. Homeschool Languages strongly focuses on speaking and getting kids to actually use the language conversationally. So even though my oldest understands Spanish pretty well, he's actually benefited a lot from Homeschool Languages challenging him to speak more and also from the explanations--i.e. explaining verb endings -o, -as, -amos and how you change the verb ending depending on who is doing the action. In the past he often made mistakes with verb endings when using Spanish, I had never really explained it to him, hoping he would just 'pick it up' over time through exposure, but actually teaching him lessons about how to use the verb endings has improved his speaking skills!

@ravenbird3014 Ай бұрын

@@katieprimacio_ For what it is worth, , I'd do Homeschool Languages 1 and 2, and then skip to Llamitas Level 2. There was a lot of Spanish immersion stuff my kid didn't get to use until toward the end of level 1. I felt like I missed out on excellent material since my kid wasn't speaking already at a 4/5 year old level in Spanish. My kid loved the workbook and learned a ton, but wants to speak more.

@jenaparsons 3 ай бұрын

Do you know if they’re planning on adding more levels past level 2? If not, what curriculum would you suggest after they’ve finished the second level?

@SevenInAll 3 ай бұрын

I believe that are intending to add Spanish 3 in the future, but they don't have a release date yet. Right now, I don't know of another curriculum that's also aimed at conversational Spanish for young children but is at a more advanced level than Homeschool Languages Spanish 2. I'm using Llamitas Level 2 with my 1st grader who already understands Spanish quite well--it's aimed at 1st-3rd grade age range for bilingual kids who know a good amount of Spanish already and are working on leveling up and learning some more academic content and vocabulary, particularly vocabulary in early elementary scientific topics. Here's a look at Llamitas Level 2: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7yaZtWKu9_Pkmw.htmlsi=IYPWB0qopzl-RLXs
