TOS Review: Speekee TV

Hola! (Hello)  I am so blessed to be able to be on the crew for The Oldschoolhouse Homeschool Review Crew! This year we have had the opportunity to use so many products that I never would have been able to use if it hadn't been for the crew!  Today's product is no exception!  I had never even heard of it and it is now a family favorite!

¿Qué es?(What is it?)  Speekee TV!  Me gusta mucho!!(I like it alot!)  I took two years of Spanish in high school but I don't remember very much of it except the colors and numbers and of course Hola (Hello) and Adiós(Goodbye).  


Speekee TV uses what's known as a 'spiral learning' approach, in which new language is presented and then revised when the next set of language comes up. With this methodology the child does not lose contact with what he/she has learned before, the learning being both structured and gradual. Therefore, they suggest each episode is viewed in sequence: 1, 2, 3 etc.   And so we did just that.  We watched as a family because as I said before, my Spanish could use some extra help. 

Speekee TV is designed to help young learners but I think any beginner would love it.  My 12 year old enjoyed watching just as much as my 7 year old.  After you watch each episode, you have worksheets that you can download to reinforce what was taught in the videos.  The worksheets are very elementary but again my 12 year old was disappointed when I didn't print him a sheet out to do after the first episode so I went back and printed him one too!  Sometimes we label our children as too old to enjoy things when really they enjoy it just as much as the younger children.  Tengo treinta y ocho anos (I am 38 years old) and enjoyed watching and singing along with Speekee, Jim, Dino, and Lupi too!

I reviewed Speekee TV online but the episodes are also available in DVD.  They are meant to be watched in sequence and over and over for reinforcement.   Each episode is spoken and sung entirely in Spanish!  The Spanish and English words are printed at the bottom of the screen.

Would our family purchase a subscription to Speekee  TV online?  Si, es fantastico! (yes, it is fantastic!!)  We all love it!  I would also consider purchasing the DVD set in the long run because I think that would be a better savings for us.
