Homeschooling, Foreign Languages, and Me—Can We Make This Work?
Yes we can! And we can have fun with it and be effective! Is fun even possible? (Yes!)There are so many possibilities—how do we choose? How can we make it effective? What should you look for in a curriculum? What level of proficiency should you expect? Is your kindergartner too young? How about high school credit? What if my child is dyslexic? Why isn’t my child speaking the language when I bought lots of curriculum? Come experience some of the different methods and learn effective tools. Learn to adapt your curriculum with these ideas. Listen, ponder, make your choices, go home and have fun with your kids!
