I had planned to order new language curriculum after Christmas, but got sidetracked with all of the bathroom tile and fixtures we were picking out.
Last week a new resource plopped into my lap when I discovered that our local library subscribes to Mango.
AnnaBeth has started happily using Mango for French and Irish. Thalia would like something grammar-based to back up the Spanish portion. We're looking at something simple like a Barron's workbook, or something more in-depth like Breaking the Barrier. I'm leaning towards starting with the cheaper option (Barron's), then kicking up to Breaking the Barrier if that doesn't work out.
I'd be interested to hear more about your experience w/ Spanish books. Have heard some very positive reviews about Breaking the Barrier over on the Well Trained Mind forums w/ strong emphasis on good grammar and at around $30 they seem like a good deal. Any more info would be appreciated!
