THSF Languages
Every language we teach lives here. Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and German are all live today — a full A1 year each, real lessons, ready to assign. Hebrew is next; nothing invented in the meantime, just an honest “not yet.”
A full A1 year, 12 units — greetings and food today, real short conversations by the end, not a semester of flashcards.
12 units of A1 French built for actual use — ordering, asking directions, talking about your day — not a vocab list waiting to be forgotten.
A1 Italian in 12 units, paced so a kid is stringing sentences together by the back half of the year, not still naming colors.
12 units, a full A1 year — the everyday Portuguese a kid would actually reach for, not the textbook kind.
A1 German across 12 units, built so grammar shows up inside real sentences a kid needs, not as a rule to memorize first and use never.
Aleph-bet through real reading fluency, built the way I taught my own kids at my kitchen table.
No one to talk to in it — every reason to learn it. Roots that unlock English, science, and half the SAT vocab list.
Tones first, characters second — built so a kid hears the difference before they're asked to write it.
Hiragana before kanji, spoken before written — the order that actually works, not the order that looks impressive on a syllabus.
Right-to-left from lesson one, real script from lesson one — no transliteration crutch to unlearn later.
Cyrillic isn't as foreign as it looks — three weeks in, most of it reads like English with a costume on.
A language you watch, not just hear — built for a kid's eyes and hands, not a worksheet.
