At the moment, we are in the throws of teaching Dy how to talk. How are we doing that? Using picture books and kiddie videos, so that is what we will be doing for our Spanish lessons. We will obtain the materials used by Spanish speaking families to teach their own children, and use them to teach all of us.
I've been out to EBay and I see a number of such tools for $5 or less. This should be fun!
Oh, and Cinco de Mayo is the day used to observe the Mexican army's victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
Adios!

ReplyDeleteand of course Rosetta Stone is very good too. I took some Continuing Ed courses at our local Junior College. But Rosetta Stone is more portable and pretty much the same dollar wise. I think it's an investment well spent.

I plan on just using my iphone with something like a jibbigo app. The phone won't work, but the apps will. :) (Kind of like the future star trek translator)

That should take care of our needs in France and other places as well.
@Mike: Thanks Mike! That fsi-language link has a ton of languages! Wow. And all the "tapes" for the language classes as audio files. Thanks!
