I have only gotten thru about 1/4 of the book so far but I really like the way it is presented. It is very user friendly and even has a website associated with it, that has games, short movies, and drills! My daughter is already hooked on and very excited to learn! :) I give it an A+!

At first I was afraid this would be too fast paced for my class (grades 4-6) but they seem to be keeping up three weeks in. The student book is great! I do feel this curriculum might be more than some students could handle; it would just depend on what level of learning your student is. We are also using the DVDs and CD chant which the kids don't seem to enjoy as much. There is also a chapter book that can be purchased that reviews vocabulary.

my homeschool group purchased this product with the dvd curriculum for elementary age, especially upper elementary 4/5 grades, which is what this is rated for. It is very dry and grammar focused, which isn't what younger children need in a language. We substituted with some more interactive learning activities to reinforce the learning in the book, so we won't be finishing the workbook this year for sure. However, this is excellent for middle school and high school, since they learn best by learning the grammar first. This is great if you don't know Spanish and need to teach it, but definitely best for teaching older kids, or going at a very slow pace with upper elementary.
