Frequently Asked Questions

2. How much time will it take for my child to speak a language fluently?

    Attaining language fluency is a long-term process that varies among individuals.  Several
    factors affect how fluent an individual can become with the language.   These factors include
    (1) how much exposure to the foreign language does the child receive outside of the
    classroom, (2) the child’s age, (3) the learning pace of the child, and (4) overall skill level of
    the child.  For more information, visit the Classes page.

3. What if my child is having difficulty learning the material?

    We strongly encourage families to reinforce our lessons at home through the use of the
    activity sheets and audio files to these sheets that are provided each week.  When students
    are having difficulties learning the material and the families are spending some time at home
    reinforcing the material, we recommend that families use  resources to supplement class
    instruction such as music, audio books, DVDs to help students get more comfortable with the
    first stage of learning a language, listening.  Once the student feels more comfortable with
    this stage, he or she may be ready to move onto to the understanding and speaking. Every
    student’s situation is different and can be addressed on a case by case basis.  For more
    information on resources to supplement the language learning at home, visit the Family
    Resources page.

4. Are there classes offered during the weekdays?

    Yes, we heard from many families that wanted a weekday option.  We are pleased to
    announce that we now provide afternoon classes in the Towson location.  Please visit our
    schedule or sign up for our quarterly program updates for updated information on our future
    class offerings.

5. How much do the classes cost?

    Based on a 10 week session with classes occurring once a week, the tuition for the
    parent/toddler class is $173 plus a $20 annual registration fee.  The tuition for the kids only
    class is $200 plus a $20 annual registration fee.  For classes twice a week, the tuition for
    kids only classes is $368 plus a $20 annual registration fee.  See Classes for more

8. How qualified are the teachers at teaching my child?

    All of our teachers are fun, energetic, and have a strong desire to share their language and
    culture with children.  In many cases, they have teaching backgrounds either in their native
    countries or in the United States.  They all have experience in working with children and have
    had Maryland and FBI Criminal Background Checks. Find out more about our teachers.

9. What is the learning environment like?

    It is our mission to teach children age-appropriate fundamentals of a foreign language in a
    fun, safe, and nurturing group environment. By using kid-friendly visual and musical
    materials, children can learn a new language and culture in a way that does not involve
    memorization. Typical activities include songs, storybooks, arts and crafts, puppets, and
    games.

10. What are the expectations of my child behaviorally?

    Families will receive welcome letters prior to the start of class that outline the classroom
    expectations for students.  We encourage families to talk with their students regarding our
    expectations so that the learning experience is a positive one for all of our students.  
    Students that are unable to follow classroom expectations after several warnings and
    consultations with the family may be asked to leave our program.

11. What are the goals of the class?

    Each class has learning objectives that are detailed in the newsletter that all registered
    families receive at the start of a new session.
