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.

I am convinced that the one of the most important education that I can give my baby bean is foreign language education. So I did some research and found a French Mommy and Me class near our house. See you there!

habla blah blah classes introduce the sounds and words of Español with fun and whimsy. Addressing multiple learning styles at a child’s critical period of language development, the class invites children and their caregivers to participate in songs, play, and ritualized communication that can be repeated and reinforced easily at home. And it’s fun!

The fall session will focus on the 1st half of habla blah blah’s self-titled CD, habla blah blah: an introduction to the sounds & words of Español, Volume 1 (available for purchase at Play).

Korean Cultural Center is one of my favorite places to go. Its a great place to go if you want to learn about Korea. They constantly are having all sorts of events, including movie screenings. If you want your kids to pick up a foreign language then you can’t beat their deal, and its affiliated with Seoul National University. Check them out, they’re fun to visit and look at the Korean art, and also great to learn about the Korean people.
