This program is made for homeschoolers. It is meant as a family study, meaning that mom and children and dad if able learn together and communicate in Spanish together to help learn the language better. This style of learning a foreign language is called immersion.
There are tips and unique ideas scattered throughout the program to help you help your family increase your fluency.
Each unit is made up of 15 vocabulary clusters with phrases to use to present the material. In total there are 33 vocabulary clusters, and 15 idea sections. There is also a Planning guide and Daily Planning Chart. There are writing and reading games to use also. Reading, writing, listening and speaking are all integrated into this program, helping you reach fluency easily in a homeschool setting.
I encourage you to view many of the samples to help you decide if you can use this program in your school. I also encourage you to read about the authors and about how this program works.
Due to our Christmas break and a recent round of illness we had very limited time using this program before the due date to post my review. What we did use over a two week period, we really enjoyed. I did find though, that the hard copies would be very handy, as there is quite a bit of printing involved. It was quite fun also to notice that our soon to be three year old also wanted to try her tongue at speaking Spanish… Had I been “on the ball” and knew how to get a video off my phone, it would have been fun. 
I hope to use this program further this summer, why this summer? Because we will take a break from our “hard core” routine of school subjects, and this looks like a great program to help keep students in the “studying” mode, while also learning some valuable skills. Due to the nature of this curriculum, it would be a great asset for the Lifestyle of Learning Family.
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of the Download version of R.E.A.L. Homeschool Spanish for the purpose of completing this review. I received no other compensation for my honest opinion.
mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
