[Mommyfaithe]

Has any of your children taken an online foreign Language course?? Which one?? What did you think?? Ds doesn't want Spanish...but is open to Italian or Japanese. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Would he do French? Texas Tech has a great online program that's free (not online with a live person, and not a "class," per se--just a free course that 's pretty good).

Both my kids are taking foreign language online through The Potter's School. My 10th grader is finishing up Latin 2 and my 7th grader is finishing Jr. High French 1.

It's been a very positive experience for us.

You might consider SpanishLuna. The student meets with a live tutor in real time via Skype, using an Elluminate room and chalkboard software. It's pretty nifty.

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but how do I find out about the Texas Tech French course? I poked around their website, but can't find info on it. It sounds like something that would work for us.

TIA!!
