Why Breaking the Barrier?
Breaking the Barrier has offered language curriculum since 1997 — the books are written by experienced classroom teachers with a time-tested methodology.
Unlike programs focused on vocabulary memorization, students practice the target language across all four skills — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — through a combination of a structured print textbook and a rich Online Access component with audio, video, interactive exercises, and cultural content from the Spanish and French speaking worlds.
This is a full-year, structured course designed for students seeking elective credit.
Do I need to speak French/Spanish as the parent/teacher?
No. The program is fully self-directed — students follow the online activities independently and receive instant, targeted feedback without any teacher input. Parents can assist by offering encouragement and grading the chapter tests using the provided rubric.
What do I need for a second student?
Each additional student needs one extra Student Edition book with Online Access. The Answer Key, Test Program, Vocabulary Quizzes, and Pacing Guide included in the Homeschool Package can be reused across multiple students.
Can I renew Online Access?
Yes. Online Access is valid for 12 months from the date of activation (not purchase). Before your subscription ends, you can renew for an additional full year for $40.
