Because See it and Say it Flip Flop Spanish teaches how to speak Spanish in the same way we learned our first language, the alphabet is  not a focus. We learn to communicate what the NEEDs, WANTS, and LIKES  are first, and once your brain is accustomed and comfortable with that,  more depth, more vocabulary, is added. Nouns are the first thing our  brains want to communicate about. So that's what the cards show.  However, since we are older, we want to make a phrase, which is why you  can build a complete sentence within the first three minutes of your  lessons with SiSi - build from success to success!

So, adjectives like colors and numbers come much much later.

And  there's an extended lesson on the vowels and letters and how they sound  for the scholar level students. I made it viewable for anyone, not just  subscribers. You'll see a page with the vowels on it in your SiSi manual  as well. 🙂

(You can also check out Charlotte Mason Foreign  Language Method and see how similar we are in our procedures.)

As the Communications Chair of the Community Homeschool Center in Bryan, Texas, I get about a dozen phone calls a week about homeschooling.

Follow the four easy - ok, not easy, but simple - steps that Señora Gose uses to make her homeschool curriculum choices every year for the past 14 years for her five (now only four! - One graduated, four left!) children.
