I believe I mentioned that I changed up our schedule a bit because my youngest is catching on with the foreign languages so well. Anyway, today I have assigned for German Language Studies. I will speak as much German as I know and so will my child. When the regular subjects have been completed, we will study German and new words. I'm guessing probably more cognates will be the main focus.
The main thing I want you to notice is that when we home school, we don't ever really leave school. I 'm not talking about our house, I'm talking about how we live. It's a way of life. The first thing I will say to my child today is "Ich liebe dich, Guten Morgen." That means- I love you , Good Morning. The last thing I will say to my child is " Ich liebe dich, Gute Nacht." Can you guess what that means? See it's not that difficult.
BTW I write everything down so I'm practicing writing German during my child's lessons!
We learn TOGETHER and I make sure I tell my kids this. I want them to know that people can still, and should learn all their lives! I've always said "Once you stop learning, you start dying."
Everything I've ever really needed to know, I leaned by teaching my kids home school !!
When we first started learning German, I said the English words first, then I followed it with the German. (same for Spanish and sign) now that we both understand these phrases, that's all we use now.
Have a look on goodreads.com for my bookshelf for the books I'm using
