What are others saying about Elementary Spanish A?

Did you know that Abeka's new Elementary Spanish product line has been piloted in a variety of classrooms around the U.S.? Abeka has partnered with several schools and is excited to be receiving great feedback! Here's some of what we're hearing...

I am thrilled that the children have been so excited about this opportunity. I have had more than one parent comment to me about how much their child has enjoyed learning Spanish.
—Charity K., Director

I never imagined how much I would enjoy teaching Spanish! I am not fluent, so I have enjoyed learning alongside the children. Their excitement is truly contagious as we learn new Spanish words, Bible verses, and songs!
—Angel W., Teacher

The resources are well organized. They have simple concepts, easy to teach and easy to learn for all the children. I also taught these lessons to older grades. I like it because I was able to focus on pronunciation and conversation using the words in each lesson.
—Ale W., Teacher

My daughter came home so excited to tell me her Bible verse in Spanish and all the animal names. She even taught her sister how to say Exodus 20:12 in Spanish.
—Joshua P., Parent

I am loving watching my son learn a second language! It's fun to catch him singing the songs to himself as he plays. However, I was most impressed when he recently tried to converse with the Spanish-speaking delivery driver who brought our groceries!
