Breaking the Barrier was created by a language teacher with over 40 years of classroom experience, then adapted specifically for homeschool families. Each level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) represents a full academic year and covers the grammar and vocabulary typically taught across three years of traditional language study, with the Advanced level built to prepare students for AP, SAT II, IB, and college placement exams.
The Homeschool Package combines a durable, reusable student textbook-workbook, an answer key that lets parents grade without knowing the language themselves, a standalone vocabulary reference guide, and online access with audio, video, and interactive exercises synced to the print materials. Middle school-level packages (¡Vamos! and ¡En camino!) are also available for students not yet ready for the high school pace. Each completed level earns one high school credit.
Best for families wanting a rigorous, structured path to real language proficiency, especially for students headed toward AP or college-level coursework.
