Best Online Spanish Course for Kids in 2021

If you’re searching for the best online Spanish course for kids, you likely already know that speaking multiple languages gives your child a competitive edge. 

You’re aware that being bilingual greatly enhances their resume and both their educational opportunities and employment potential. 

But why Spanish? 

It’s not only the official language of about two dozen countries but also one spoken by more than 500 million people worldwide. 

Learning the language opens up the possibility of studying or working in Spain or Latin America, as well as traveling in Spanish-speaking countries with knowledge of the language.

Learning Spanish is relatively easy for English speakers, due to the overlap Spanish and English vocabulary that results from their common Latin roots. 

Let’s delve into what the best online Spanish course for your kids looks like, by finding out how Homeschool Spanish Academy meets the criteria!

Best Online Spanish Course Criteria

Check out our list of 4 basic criteria to consider when you’re on the hunt for the best online Spanish course for your children.

1. Personal, live instructors

First of all, are you looking for a pre-recorded, standardized course or one with live instructors? The latter will be much more engaging, especially for young learners. 

Skilled Spanish teachers understand the workings of the language. Ideally, they are native speakers. One way to feel certain that your online Spanish tutor is adequately trained to teach you is by enrolling with an online Spanish academy that has experienced and trained teachers.

2. Conversational classes combined with a written curriculum 

Online Spanish classes with high-quality curriculum include helpful grammar lessons and meaningful vocabulary meanwhile incorporating the four key skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking in every lesson. 

The key to a good curriculum is providing students with plenty of opportunities to speak the target language in class, as well as focusing on all four areas of language acquisition: reading, writing, listening, speaking.

3. Affordable rates

Consider what price range suits you best as you compare the costs of potential Spanish programs. Some are free, whereas others charge a monthly subscription or a per-class fee.

4. Free trial class

Ideally, the course provider will offer a free trial class with no obligation, so that you can experience their services and curriculum before making a financial commitment.

Use our expert checklist with the essential criteria as your guide.

Introducing Homeschool Spanish Academy

Homeschool Spanish Academy (HSA) offers live classes for all ages—preschool, elementary, middle school, and high school students. (Adults are also encouraged to sign up!) 

Our teachers are friendly and easy to talk to!

This platform combines personal classes scheduled at your convenience with a dynamic curriculum to provide your child with a complete learning experience. HSA’s balanced approach to Spanish language learning doesn’t prioritize grammar memorization. 

It focuses instead on five key concepts: 

  • Relevance
  • Attention
  • Meaning
  • Memory
  • Accountability

This program enables you to make your own schedule, choose your instructor, and reschedule or cancel a session if needed. Students can choose their session frequency, although HSA recommends taking 2 classes per week. 

Individual and paired sessions are available, with the latter being a more economical option (perfect for siblings or friends). You even have flexibility when it comes to payment options. 

Best of all, the price for classes is significantly lower than other options for live online classes.

Preschool Spanish Program

Suggested for 5 and 6 years olds, the HSA preschool program aims to build the foundation for learning Spanish, focusing on pronunciation and conversational phrases.

Elementary Spanish Program

Designed for kids from 6 to 10, this program builds confidence to engage in conversation with native speakers. With fun and interactive 25-minute classes, students stay engaged and make the most of the content. 

Middle School Spanish Program

The 50-minute sessions in this program are perfect for 10 to 13 years olds. They’ll expand their vocabulary, learn verb conjugations, and practice what they know in conversations. 

Starting Spanish studies early could enable you to be exempt from some or all of your foreign language credit requirements in college. Also, college admissions officers appreciate the effort of students who have been devoted to learning a second language for several years. 

High School Spanish Program

Instead of sitting in a large class, listening to a non-native speaker teach Spanish, HSA offers live one-on-one classes. The classes help each student reach fluency while learning the same material offered in most schools. 

The High School Spanish Program at HSA is one of the most complete online Spanish classes for high school credit options available. Designed to exceed the expectations of any US public high school curriculum, it complies with grammar requirements while also developing strong conversational skills. 

Foreign Language Credit

Homeschool Spanish Academy has a partnership with an independent accreditation agency, North Atlantic Regional High School (NARHS). This means that HSA students can earn high school credits through NARHS. It also means that NARHS validates the quality of HSA curricula and holds it accountable.
