Russian: A Homeschool Foreign Language
Russian is another great option for your homeschool foreign language. Since it is widely spoken in the larger metropolitan areas of the US such as Boston, Chicago, Miami, and San Francisco according to Wikipedia, you might find it helpful to have a background in Russian. It would also be useful to learn this language if you plan on traveling to or working in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus since it is primarily spoken there.
I like this particular lesson because it gives plenty of practice with a practical phrases. You are also able to see the translation of the words as you learn them, which can be helpful for visual learners when learning a language. The style of this particular video lends itself to kids who need minimal visual information and structured lessons. It is a no frills approach to language learning.
I hope this video gives you a glimpse at the Russian language and helps you decide if it is right for you.
