Spanish 3 — Self-Paced Recorded Video Course

Learn to Speak, Understand, and Begin Reading Spanish Naturally!

Give your child the opportunity to develop conversational Spanish skills while beginning an exciting new journey: learning to read in Spanish!

Our Spanish 3 Recorded Course is a Charlotte Mason–inspired Spanish program designed for children ages 8–11, combining natural language acquisition with a gentle introduction to Spanish reading.

Through engaging video lessons filled with meaningful conversations, traditional songs, poetry, stories, and interactive activities, children develop their Spanish comprehension and speaking skills while gradually becoming familiar with written Spanish.

One of the special features of Spanish 3 is our Spanish translation and adaptation of the classic McGuffey Eclectic Primer (included as a PDF for free), which introduces reading through short, progressive lessons.

No previous Spanish experience is required!

And the best part? You don't need to speak Spanish to give your child a wonderful foreign-language education!

How Does the Course Work?

Our recorded course brings the experience of learning with a native Spanish-speaking teacher into your home.

Each lesson is led by a teacher who uses Spanish throughout most of the lesson, supported by gestures, pictures, repetition, facial expressions, and movement to make the language understandable.

Children are encouraged to listen, respond, sing, read, and participate from home.

Spanish 3 continues emphasizing listening comprehension and conversation while introducing opportunities to connect spoken Spanish with written words and sentences.

What Makes Spanish 3 Special?

- Natural Language Acquisition

Children learn languages most effectively when they have opportunities to hear, understand, and interact with meaningful language.

Our lessons use comprehensible input, gestures, pictures, repetition, and engaging activities to make Spanish understandable.

Rather than memorizing isolated vocabulary lists or studying complicated grammar rules, students encounter Spanish naturally through conversations, stories, and everyday situations.

- Begin Reading Spanish With Our Adapted McGuffey Primer

One of the most exciting additions to Spanish 3 is our Spanish translation and adaptation of the McGuffey Eclectic Primer!

This classic reading resource has been adapted to help children begin developing reading skills in Spanish.

Through short, progressive reading lessons, students gradually become familiar with Spanish words, sentences, and simple stories.

The primer also provides opportunities for oral reading, comprehension, and gentle written practice.

Our Spanish McGuffey Primer is included as a digital PDF with your purchase!

Reading is introduced gradually, allowing students to continue developing their listening and speaking skills while becoming comfortable with written Spanish.

- Learn From a Native Spanish-Speaking Teacher

Children hear Spanish spoken naturally by an experienced teacher.

Our teachers use pictures, gestures, repetition, and meaningful interactions to make the lessons understandable.

Students are encouraged to participate by answering questions, repeating phrases, describing pictures, singing, and following along with stories.

- Charlotte Mason–Inspired Lessons

We believe foreign-language learning should be joyful, meaningful, and rich in beautiful language.

Our lessons incorporate:

• Traditional Spanish children's songs and folk songs

• Poetry and recitation

• Stories and storytelling

• Everyday conversational expressions

• Interactive language games

• Listening and speaking activities

• Gentle reading practice

• Repetition and review

Rather than relying on vocabulary memorization or grammar drills, we focus on helping children understand, speak, and begin reading Spanish naturally.

- Designed for Homeschool Families

With short lessons lasting approximately 10–15 minutes, Spanish can fit naturally into your homeschool routine.

You can follow our suggested schedule of two lessons per week or move at a pace that works best for your family.

Pause, repeat, and revisit lessons whenever your child needs additional practice.

There's no need to plan or teach Spanish yourself—the teacher guides your child through each lesson!
