WORLD LANGUAGES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (K-5) SUPPLEMENTAL LEARNING BLENDED SOLUTION

Symtalk—available for Spanish and French—is all about visual language learning. Symtalk uses a symbol method, with each image representing a word. What makes Symtalk unique is that the symbols represent all parts of speech, and are introduced and practiced in the context of a complete sentence. Your students will learn vocabulary and grammar in a natural way while having fun interpreting each picture!
