Hello,

I recently visited yours page, and I found yours article language educational tools hitns and noticed that you had linked Livemocha. As you may have heard, Livemocha is no longer in a business and that link no longer works. In case you want to replace it I suggest you our site LingQ, which is an web and mobile language learning tool as same as Livemocha.

We would be glad if LingQ made it into any of yours educational articles.
I’m sure it will be a nice addition to your page.

Let me know if you would like more information or access to try it out. Either way, just wanted to let you know about the broken link.

Regards,

Dan Lee

Hi Karyn, thanks so much for your service to the homeschool & early language learning communities with this post! I am a homeschool mom, Spanish teacher, language education blogger, and curriculum developer and thought I’d share a couple of things-
My Spanish teacher friend and fellow bilingual mami Elisabeth over at SpanishMama has collected a series of resources to help learners navigate and get the most of the Mi Vida Loca videos and I thought you might find them helpful: http://spanishmama.com/mi-vida-loca/
Also, Calico Spanish asked me a few years ago to think through with them what a curriculum for homeschool families who don’t speak Spanish would look like and I’ve greatly enjoyed developing Calico Spanish Homeschool – three levels so far! In my work with the company I’ve done a ton of research on the various programs available for homeschoolers and we’re about to launch a series of pages that compares the ones I’ve investigated in-depth, including Foreign Languages For Kids By Kids, Whistlefritz, Rosetta Stone Homeschool, and even Duolingo and Babbel. I’m the author on the Calico Spanish program so I readily admit there will be bias! But I feel like the comparisons could be a really good resource for the community since I’ve seen so many questions like “Can anyone weigh in on —- vs. —-?” but no one has really done the research yet to provide that answer.
If you’d like to see the curriculum you can check out an activity sheet in this blog post “Adapting activity sheets for preliterate learners” https://calicospanish.com/preliterate-activities/ or to see the whole curriculum, you can get a free 7-day trial at CalicoSpanish.com/homeschool.

Great ideas- thank you! The link you have posted for the “Feelings” linguarock video is actually linked to the “Transporation” video, by the way. Still many helpful ideas that I can’t wait to delve into.
