Homeschooling Success!

[Hometeacher628]

Can't speak for Spanish, but we are doing Arabic with our high schooler. Lots of verbal repetition. Also like that you see the native written word on the screen during questions. For Arabic, there are lots of nuances in the writing that happen when you connect letters, (think English printing compared to cursive). Problem is that you miss teachable moments if you don't have an an accomplished tutor/teacher. She has progresses to Arabic mid level 2. That probably wouldn't be an issue in a language written in something recognizable! You don't get lectures, you use the language. You learn by repetition as an infant learns a language. Building on the words, eventually sentences. A simple mid level 1 question might be: the girl is driving the red car. You have to click the girl driving the red car picture. Vocab is most important, as it is what really gives you insight to pick the correct picture. Eventually questions are asked in different tenses with similar pictures, so you have to listen carefully to pick the correct picture. We will eventually be doing RS Spanish with my younger one, but are currently doing another program. We will switch over after completion. Good Luck!
