Spanish is a hard one to figure out for us too for my 9th grader. We have a tight budget so live classes are out. I'm leaning towards Excelerate Spanish with adding in some workbooks to make it more of a full high school credit. I do like the short stories Spanish book you shared. Thanks for your update!
I really wish there were better affordable Spanish options for homeschoolers! I would love to know how Excelerate Spanish works out for you! I know I looked at it, but I cannot remember why I ruled that one out!
Some affordable Spanish options I’ve discovered are Getting Started with Spanish (already pretty affordable but can be found used even cheaper; has an associated free app), Language Transfer (free; can be regular website, TH-cam playlist, or app), The Thinking Tree Learn Any Foreign Language. We are doing all three of those for 9th grade, but I’m considering Fluenz or dual enrollment for the future years. In the past (late elementary through middle), we broke Spanish 1 from Ace Paces into multiple years. All of those booklet style curriculum, like Ace Paces, Lifepac, maybe Christian Light, have Spanish that is reasonably priced.
@@de5889 Thanks for all the suggestions! I have looked at some of them, but a few I haven't heard of and will check them out! I have a minor in Spanish, but everything I know I learned from a really great Spanish 1 class in high school and all the rest of the classes (even college level!) were terrible, so I would really like to be able to do a better job with Spanish than what I had, and not something we just check off to say we did it.
We did BJU self paced online class for Spanish I and it was very intensive and took quite a LONG time to do in the day but I would highly recommend it. We are switching to Breaking the Barrier for Spanish II for 9th grade, though.
I will try to do a video on it soon! We aren't using a lot of the extra books in the biology because we enjoy history/geography more, so we will keep biology more basic and go more in depth with the geography course.
Journey Homeschool Academy has some excellent science courses we used for HS, my kids really enjoyed. It's well worth the money for the course, not so much for the lab supplies.
Thanks! I have looked at it, but the cost is a little bit higher than I was hoping for because once you add up all the lessons plus the books it is almost $300.
You should check your library, they might offer some Foreign Language. Ours has something called pronunciator, and they also might offer Great Courses through Hoopla, and they have Spanish and other languages available.
New subscriber, welcome to highschool :). My oldest is 11th grade this year. Excited to check out more of your videos.
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy learning about curriculums I haven't come across before.
We are using word up as well for vocabulary. I just got phonetic zoo for her as well.

I have been looking into using Guest Hollow Biology for my high school kids...I would love to hear more about it see what books you are using!

Thanks for the suggestion! It looks really great! Unfortunately right now it is out of our budget, but will keep it in mind for future years!
Would love to know more about the The New Answers book if you would like o share more
Thanks for the suggestion! I will try to do a video about them soon!
The creator of Flip Flop Spanish also has Spanish for High School. It looks like a good program!

You should check your library, they might offer some Foreign Language. Ours has something called pronunciator, and they also might offer Great Courses through Hoopla, and they have Spanish and other languages available.
