My son and I are taking high school Spanish through Homeschool Spanish Academy. I am a former French and ESL teacher and wanted to learn Spanish. While the teachers we have had are very engaging and very good, the curriculum is absolutely horrible. I have called the company and discussed my concerns with them and unfortunately, it is not a problem that can be quickly resolved. We just finished our 19th session and just learned numbers. Normally in a foreign language curriculum, students would learn numbers in the first or second session. Also, there are homework, quiz and test questions that use vocabulary that hasn't been introduced yet with very inconsistent usage of grammar. For example, there has still not been a formal introduction of definite and indefinite articles. When vocabulary is presented, we have no idea if the item is masculine or feminine. Later in other exercises, they incorporate the pronouns or articles that correspond but they don't actually introduce it. If my son was taking this course without me, he would be thoroughly confused. There are also really confusing directions and misspellings for english words. I have given HSA my feedback and have asked the director to call me to discuss. Unfortunately, they have not taken that opportunity. There are good things about this program- mainly the opportunity to interact with native speakers and the flexible class scheduling. But unfortunately, the way they are building the lesson material is sorely lacking and the inconsistency in spelling, grammar and presentation of material is very detrimental. Because we have already paid for this year, we will finish the year however we will be looking for other options for my son for next year.
