In reply to Angie.

I love the DuoLingo App. My kids use that a lot and they have lots of languages. There is Rosetta Stone, Mango Languages, and The Learnables. Also, check out the Cathy Duffy Reviews for a great list of some more options. http://cathyduffyreviews.com/foreign-language/foreign-language-index.htm

For a language other than Spanish, where can I go to find lessons/teachings? I’m considering homeschooling too and I would absolutely love to teach my kids another language(while helping me to learn it too). I have no idea where to even begin though

I just started working on Kindergrarten with my 4 year old as I hope to homeschool officially next year (once getting approval from his dad) and we do German daily. I use ALOT of youtube videos, movies I’ve downloaded in German and of course basics like ABCs, days of the week and such. I’m planning on doing word flash cards next month and posting them all over the house to get familiar with every day words like refridgerator (kuehlshrank), tisch (table), fenster (window) etc.

I truly believe that it is important to teach kids a language EARLY. I wish I had had the opportunity as well!
