Happy Cinco de Mayo!Learn to speak Spanish with "No-Work" *Review

Tweet Share

Learning a new language can be difficult, confusing, and just plain hard.
I believe the way that people learn helps determine their retention success. You'd think I'd be a bit more fluent after having four years from grade school through college, but I can't keep up. The way that I was taught and is still common in most traditional schools was to...
write, memorize, and write some more than repeat. Learning was very visual for me, I had a hard time blending what I saw with what I heard. This may be why...

Many people have trouble learning a language through traditional vocabulary lessons and practice. Why? Because language is intended to be used to express something. People talk to convey information, feelings, funny stories to each other. Sentences where no real meaning is being conveyed, such as the traditional language lessons, don't work.

I received 2 audiobooks from No-Work Spanish; Yaks March on Washington (single-CD) and Poster Girl (2-CDs). We have a 45 minute compute whenever we get in the car to go anywhere so I knew this would be a fun way to introduce Spanish to my kids. It also helped me realize how much and little I've retained. My kids range in age from 7 to 6 months. As you can imagine their skill levels are all over the place. That's why No-Work Spanish is the easiest way to learn and for me to teach Spanish. Plus it's for elementary school age on up.

Here's how it works:
The stories are read with each sentence said first in English, then in Spanish.
At the end of each chapter, the chapter is repeated entirely in Spanish to reinforce the vocabulary.

Here's a snippet from
Poster Girl
A story about trying to outdo a goody two-shoes student and problems that happen when you start your school project the night before it is due.

Listen and Learn!
"No-Work" involved.

Try before you buy! The first three chapters of their most popular audiobooks are FREE just for that reason. Try Now! You can buy the same audiobooks I received together for $21.95 here. They can also be purchased in mp3 form separately at Amazon.com for as low as $8.99. I look forward to keeping these in our school library for years to come.

These books will be apart of our homeschool and family library for years to come. I can't stress how important is is to learn other languages. The main reason is our world is not small, don't limit yourself or your family. Learn all you can!

Ways to use:
*Homeschooling families planning to teach Spanish
*As reinforcement for struggling students
*For travel, career or personal use
*Great for trips in the car
(Just pop in the CD while you drive the kids to school, practice, or while running errands)

Adventures in Odyssey: Cause & Effect *Home-Mom Review

H

ow do you and your family spend time in the car? We usually have music blaring or it's mommy-daddy-talk time since we rarely are uninterrupted at home. The kids know once we get in the car they must talk only to each other unless they really need something. This isn't because we are mean parents, their seats are really far back and having to turn around every few minutes to settle it is crazy. I was really excited to receive the Adventures in Odyssey: Cause & Effect CD series and knew the car would be a perfect place to try it out. It is geared towards ages 8-12 but really something the entire family will enjoy.

Here's a snippet...

The kids loved it but the surprising part was how much Dreamy and I liked it. At first I was thinking this was really cheesy and I'd have to zone out for our over 45 min car ride into town but I found myself really following the story and imagining all the scenes. It's been a while since I've listened to an audio drama and I seriously can't wait to finish the rest of the stories. If you follow this particular series then you're all to familiar with the characters. Never heard of AIO? Here are some helpful ways to use this series.This excerpt is from the publisher's website.

It’s all-new Adventures in Odyssey episodes in volume 52, Cause & Effect. Join Eugene and Matthew as they investigate why the clock tower at City Hall seems to be counting down to a mysterious deadline. Could it have something to do with the anniversary of a lost love from twenty years ago?...

The one thing I truly love about this product is that it began from a ministry founded for the support of the family, Focus on the Family. They began a radio drama series in 1987. It was because of that mini series over 20 years abo AIO became what it is today. AIO was and continues to be a very entertaining and morally sound product the entire family can enjoy!
