FAQs
You've got questions? We have answers!
The Llamitas Spanish level 1 curriculum teaches the foundations of the language taught in Spanish immersion Kindergarten.
As a general guide: if your child is learning Spanish as a beginner, they will benefit from the level 1 program up to age 8 or 9. The math will be a little easy, but remember- the challenge comes by doing it in Spanish!
For families that are bilingual already, the content may be too easy for children aged 7+. Level 2 would likely be a better fit.
You can always take our placement quiz to find out!
Level 1 is made up of 12 thematic units with 6 lessons per unit.
If you complete 3 lessons a week, you will complete the course in about 6 months.
However, we encourage you to follow the child and progress accordingly. You have lifetime access so there is no rush!
Actually our program is very popular amongst native and heritage Spanish speakers because we provide scripted lessons in Spanish (read the blue ink), written by a native Spanish speaker. This allows you to use the program as complete immersion.
Your child may already know the thematic vocabulary but will develop foundational skills in Spanish phonics, early math, reading and more.
We go beyond learning vocab! This is a comprehensive and academically robust curriculum.
Of course! We have a lot of parents learning Spanish alongside their children.
The Course Book (Libro de actividades) provides scripted lessons in both English and Spanish. You would read the English scripts in purple.
We also provide native speaker audio, and pronunciation guides.
Everything is setup to support you so your experience is fun and stress free!
Yes! You can choose between two payment options: The digital-only course (print at home) OR the digital + shipped.
Yes. Level 1 is secular meaning it does not include any religious teachings or biblical content.
However, the main curricula writers of Llamitas Spanish are women of faith.
Please feel free to reach out via our Contact form if you have specific questions related to the content.
Please also note that the Seasonal Bundle (another course that we offer) includes holiday units such as Easter, and Christmas.
These seasonal units do include Christian related content since it is such an important part of Hispanic culture. This is a separate mini course.
