Let's have some Fun!
At Fun with Foreign Language, our mission is to teach children age-appropriate fundamentals
of a foreign language in a fun, interactive, dynamic, safe, and nurturing group environment.
Through the use of quality kid-friendly visual, tactile, and musical materials, children can learn a
new language in a way that does not involve memorization, but rather uses engaging songs,
storybooks, arts and crafts, puppets, and games to immerse the child completely in the foreign
language.
We currently provide Spanish classes to children ages 18 months–13 years old at
Potters Prep Learning Center in Forest Hill, MD and at the Emmorton Recreation Center in Bel
Air, MD.
A Little About What We Do
Fun with Foreign Language provides a dynamic environment in which children can learn a
foreign language through a teacher. According to an article produced by the Center for Applied
Linguistics (CAL) www.cal.org/earlylang/, “...human interaction is the best method for fostering
both first and second language development." Our teacher uses colorful visual aids,
exaggerated speech, bright facial expressions, and energetic gestures to present classes
entirely in Spanish. Completely immersing the child in Spanish allows her to learn the
language naturally—by understanding, and not by translating.
Importance of Consistent Exposure
Given that a child is more likely to learn the fundamentals of any foreign language when he is
exposed to it over time, our program is designed to teach children Spanish over several
consecutive sessions. As the research in the Benefits section indicates, a child that starts in a
foreign language program, such as our program, in the early years and consistently continues
in a language program through high school and college, has a better chance at becoming
proficient in Spanish than someone who starts to learn Spanish in middle school.
Now is the Time!
If your child is between the ages of 18 months and 13 years, now is the best time to enroll her in
a program that can provide so many life-long benefits. Once she enters adolescence, she will
never be able to learn a foreign language as easily as she can at these optimal young years.
