Power-Glide world language courses

[Ester]

K12 is offering special deals on Power-Glide world language courses. Has anybody used it? This would be for my 7 yo dd. Thanks.

Whenever the question is asked here, I'd say it gets 99% negative reviews.

My son and I finished the entire course, all the way to the last page. We loved it on Page 1. By the fifth day, I knew it was going to be a problem. By the time we were 75% through, I was very frustrated with it. And by the last page, we both thoroughly hated it.

I called Power Glide and left a message saying I had some feedback for them. No one ever called me back.

It could really be a great program, but it would require a major overhaul.

I bet you'd have a hard time finding anyone (outside their marketing material) who finished the course and still spoke highly of it.

Have you seen Paula's Archives (http://www.redshift.com/~bonajo/spanishcurriculum.htm) for better options?

(This is my first attempt at a link. I hope it works.)

I have German and Latin... want them cheap? :eek: You just don't learn enough. Some words a few phrases. It's very light stuff for the price.
