More About Our Homeschool Latvian Language Course

Hello! Sveiki! Welcome to the Latvian language course.

Where is Latvia? Latvia is one of the Baltic States in Eastern Europe. Its capital city is Riga. It is surrounded by Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus, and Russia, with Poland to the south. The Baltic Sea separates Latvia from Sweden. Latvia has weather equivalent approximately to Michigan and is also about the same size. Latvians live all over the world, with many communities growing together in culture and knowledge of their heritage. There are Latvian Saturday schools for preschool through elementary and summer camps for children, as well as high schools in the summer for older students. The Latvian heritage is strong and thriving. Homeschool foreign language students explore the culture and heritage as they move through the lessons.

This Latvian language course is designed for homeschool students in 4th through 12th grades, but younger students may participate with assistance. Instruction is provided through videos, web sources, worksheets, and optional flashcards. The Latvian language course includes a few quizzes and tests for those who would like to mark their progress, as well as a certificate of completion.

With a parent’s permission, homeschool students may contact the instructor via email, FaceTime, or Skype for questions about the work or help with pronunciation. She participates in direct contact with a student only while a parent is present. Students may email Mrs. Puksta at jesusluvshelena@gmail.com.
