Spanish ideas, anyone?

I'd like to start Spanish in the fall with Huck. We will be continuing Latin for Children. The above thread got me thinking. I should probably start asking around, huh? LOL So, that said, we like LFC and it works for us. I'd like something with a similar format if possible. Any suggestions?

Oh, and I'm hoping I become a larvae with this one too. I'm not just visiting, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not! :)

I did Puertas Abiertas with both my girls (6 and 3.5) and have my oldest doing Learnables Spanish Level 1. When she's ready to start Level 2, I have some Spanish language cartoons -- Juanito Jones and Las Tres Mellizas to start, and will get more if there is interest. I'm interested to see other suggestions on this thread as I'd like a second program to do with her. After Learnables, Rosetta Stone would be the next step, in conjunction with a more intensive grammar study.

Puertas Abiertas was a big hit, even with my older girl (who picked up a surprising amount). The Learnables are drier by far and I don't think she'd have much interest if the first level wasn't on the computer. I'm hoping Level 2 is available on CD-ROM by the time she's ready.

Thanks, nmoira. If I don't get a great response here, I'll post over on the curriculum board and get back to you. I'll definitely check out your suggestions.
Cheers

Have you looked on Paula's Archive (http://www.redshift.com/~bonajo/spanishcurriculum.htm)? She has a list she complied from the WTM boards. I use So You Really Want to Learn Spanish (http://www.galorepark.co.uk/product/home_schoolers/46/so-you-really-want-to-learn-spanish-book-1.html), but I would not recommend it for your child's age. It moves very fast. We are enjoying Fun Spanish and some other things. Check out my blog (http://classicaledourway.blogspot.com/search/label/spanish) for two posts I wrote about this topic.

HTHs,

Thanks, Patricia.
I cross posted on the curriculum board and this site just popped up over there too. Paula is awesome for compiling that list. What a help!
