I received this question:

You are a language guy. My 5th grade son LOVES Visual Latin, and I can see that he has an aptitude for language learning. However, he is a very visual-spatial learner (like, he had an educational profile done b/c he was struggling so much in other subjects, and it revealed that he is highly visual and not great “just listening”), and learning other languages has proven difficult — I think — because they are not presented quite so visually as Visual Latin.

Question: Is there a modern language curriculum out there that is heavily visual? He’s been studying Spanish with Classical Academy Press products (Song School Spanish and Spanish for Children A).

Thanks!

Here is my reply:

Hi!

I apologize for the delay. I was out of the country for several months and am now crawling out from underneath a mountain of emails.  Finally catching up this afternoon…

Unfortunately, most of what I use is audio based. 

However, I will say that I really like DuoLingo.  It is free, and it is visually based.  My daughter started using it to learn French when she was fourteen.  A few months ago, in France, she translated for us and even rented a car for us.  She is sixteen.  D

DuoLingo is powerful.  Best of all… it’s free!  I would start there.
