Lango uses a uniquely dynamic approach to ensure kids learn a new language while having a great time. Lango combines the best of what’s been learned from language-instruction and educational experts, as well as continued evaluation of their experience teaching new languages to kids — not to mention thirty years of experience provided by parent company Intrax Cultural Exchange. With Lango everything is focused on two things: children having fun and learning a new language.
In addition to weekly classes, Lango materials give families a great way to reinforce learning at home. When a child takes a Lango class, she has a storybook to read, a music CD to sing and dance to that’s designed to reinforce class lessons, and memory cards to play with to help with retention in a fun, age-appropriate way.
