Have you ever thought of the windows of opportunity you can open to your kids when they acquire a foreign language?

The benefits are rewarding and endless indeed. Many experts agree that the earlier a child is introduced to a second language, the greater the chances are the child becomes truly proficient in the language and develops a native-like accent. Also, kids exposed to another language improve their overall performance at school, problem-solving skills, and scores in standardized tests. Acquiring a foreign language opens children’s minds and creates an early appreciation and respect towards other cultures; it enhances the child’s English ability (believe it or not), and will ultimately guarantee additional career possibilities. At LangoKids Irvine, we work with our kids' capacity to "acquire" (not learning), which is only possible between birth and 8 years old. At the age of 8 and up, the process that takes place is called "Language Learning" which is a bit more difficult, less natural, and it takes more time. Don't wait any longer; let us have the pleasure to do the most we can while the window of opportunity is open and make a difference in your and your children's lives!
 
At LangoKids Irvine, we believe every child should and can acquire a foreign language and we welcome Everybody:  
  • Multilingual or Spanish, French, or Mandarin-speaking families seeking support in speaking a target language with children outside the home and with other children. We also support the kids that already speak the language and are ready to explore language functionality through fun grammar lessons. 
  • Families with little or no Spanish, French, or Mandarin language skills seeking exposure to language through immersion.
  • Educators of schools and daycare centers looking to provide a dynamic, play-based, and year-round Spanish, French, or Mandarin program for their students and families.
  • Children everywhere who show fascination for other languages and cultures!
