My eldest took Spanish (through distance learning)
and American Sign Language (at community college)

Now my 9th and 6th graders are taking Chinese with Rosetta Stone.
I'm so glad Rosetta Stone offers so many choices!

PHP

My elder daughter started on Chinese Mandarin this year. My younger one is doing Hokkien. We will do German later when they are older.

We are learning French and Spanish with my 6 and 3 year old. I bought two cds from Twin Sisters Productions and there are songs that teach them the alphabet, numbers, weather, food, etc. It's a lot of fun and they have picked up a lot doing them in a song.

I also bought a pottery barn kids language wheel and it teaches like 6 or 8 simple words in different languages..english, spanish, french, italian, and german.

We will start with Spanish next year.

I would also like the children to learn Latin. I haven't convinced my husband yet.

We are studying the following

Polish
Spanish
German


and are looking into starting these in the near future..

Italian,
Greek,
Afrikaans
and
Arabic

All languages the children do you or will use are so they can communicate with Close Family and friends in their native languages

We learn the languages, cook their food and learn about their cultures :)

So much fun! and the best bit the children can use it with loved ones!

Children are 3 and 8 years old.

Edited to add the 8 year old is also learning XHTML
Regardless of how we each choose to educate our children, may they have the most wonderful and fulfilling educational experience possible.

Latin, Greek, and German.

I'd also like to study Welsh (Cymraeg) when I get the chance.
