Why Learn Languages at a Young Age?
At Lango your child will learn a new language, make developmental strides, explore other cultures and make friends. Our highly engaging language classes use music, games, art, and stories to teach children new languages.
Children's language programs are rapidly gaining popularity as parents realize that teaching a second language to their chldren helps enhance their cognitive development, resulting in better grades and higher test scores later in life. Parents are also desire to increase their children's cultural awareness to help them succeed in our multi-cultural society.
At Lango, we agree that children in the US are in severe need of quality language programs. But more important than the developmental edges that are acquired when learning other languages, is the simple value of exposure to other ways of communicating, understanding and ultimately living.
Of course, learning a language is a lifelong endeavor. Learners who start early are most likely to gain benefits ranging from cross-functional cognitive development to accent-free pronunciation. Learners who start early and then stick with language acquisition throughout their lives through classes, interaction with native speakers at home and travel to other countries are sure to achieve fluency and to reap its many rewards.
Make Developmental Strides
At Lango, you can expect your child to grow developmentally and cognitively, including improved problem solving and critical thinking skills and enhanced creativity. Studying a foreign language over an extended period of time has been shown to accelerate cognitive development, resulting in higher grades later in life in math and English, and even resulting in higher SAT scores.
Gain an Appreciation for Other Cultures
Our teachers bring their passion for other lands and peoples to their classes. Lango students learn about the richness of other cultures, typically increasing their interest in speaking their new language. Depending on which language classes they take, our students may learn about folk music from Argentina, Spanish games, food from France or even Chinese dance.
Make New Friends in the Classroom
Our engaging, interactive classes are ideal places for children to make new friends. Students who learn a new language also learn the importance of being inquisitive, open and understanding of others, and Lango classmates often become great friends.
