Our elementary language programs are arranged by age and not language level because children's language skills and learning styles change significantly from year to year. No previous language knowledge is required to join our language classes. To view the class appropriate for your child, simply scroll down to the grade level. If your child is in middle school or high school, please see our tutoring information. Actually, learning another language usually enhances a child's English ability.
Children can learn much about English by learning the structure of other languages.
Common vocabulary also helps children learn the meaning of new words in English. Students learn about the new language and culture through songs, games, rhymes, and activities. The main goal is for children to have a positive experience with a foreign language and establish a foundation for further study. By the end of the first session, your child will know 8 new songs by heart, the alphabet the numbers, colors, classroom objects, basic sentence patterns and vocabulary for greetings, describing things, working in the classroom, and expressing likes and dislikes. By the end of the second session, your child will learn another 8 songs or rhymes and know how to name family members, animals, days, months, actions, and talk about feelings, the weather, and her daily activities.
