I have been homeschooling for 8 years. Each of my children learns differently, and of the many grammar courses we've tried this is the only one that they can all agree on.
The video is gentle and classical music (thoughtfully listed for you on the cd) plays in the background. Marie, the teacher in the video, is down-to-earth, and speaks slowly and clearly. It's like a visit from your favourite aunt or grandma!
The package includes worksheets that you can print for each lesson to reinforce what your child has just learned, but even if you don't use them your kids will pick up and retain the information.
The price is high.....and worth every penny. I can't recommend this program highly enough, and its companion program The Cozy Grammar.
