"If you think those of us who ask questions about Powerglide, etc.
are wussy
about unschooling, you've never seen me on my soapbox when someone
questions
homeschooling in general and unschooling specifically."
There was nothing wussy about asking for information on Power Glide
Ginny. Just another bashing from Ned that seems to be common as of
late......
I LOVE the Power Glide Spanish. Bought the adult one for myself.
Which is how I use a lot of things I'd like to expose the kids to, by
teaching myself.
I want to learn Spanish, so I do. The overflow of that is the kids
hear me listening to the tapes and often sit down and want to know
what is being said. We rewind a lot, I answer questions etc...
And another great side effect is that by knowing some Spanish, I can
use it at appropriate times when speaking with them.
Not much, but a little.
And even if they never learn Spanish as another language, I think the
exposure to the idea of teaching oneself a language and hearing the
foreign sounds is a wonderful benefit.

Great idea. It's about time I tried to really learn a language. Any Spanish
that I've picked up when I worked outside the home -- in my former life I was
an ER nurse/NP, has been minimal and spoken with a quasi-Italian accent -- I
was an army brat who lived in Verona. Most of the people just laugh. I must
get some words correct because they usually respond appropriately.
Thanks for the feedback,
