A Glimpse: Learning a Second Language

January 7, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

I am excited to partner with Language Stars to share with your our goal for our children to learn at least one other language!  This post has been compensated but all opinions are my own.

I guess we’ll call this a glimpse into something we find important to do as parents.  Learning a second language is huge in our minds in helping our kids be well rounded in their education.  Of course, tons of studies have shown that learning languages at a younger age leads to a high success at actually retaining the language for years to come.  It is overall easier for a younger child to learn too than say and adult.  Maya, our au pair, speaks German and we love for her to teach Hailey new words whenever she can.

For those that don’t have a language immersion program in their own home like we do, there are awesome programs like Language Stars.

Language Stars is a play-driven foreign language class for kids between the ages of 1 and 10 years old. They like to focus on what they call a FunImmersion® method of instruction to help students learn a foreign language through games, art projects, music and more. There are 7 locations in my area {DC/MD/NOVA} so I know that it will be easy to find a location should we decide to do something like this in addition to having an au pair. It was voted “Best Foreign Language Instruction for Kids” by, Washington Family Magazine readers.

Staring this week, Language Stars is hosting open houses in all 15 of their centers.  During the open houses, parents can take their kids in to try out a free class.  If they attend the free class, they also get a $10 iTunes gift card.  If a new family member enrolls, they get $100 off their tuition.  That is a pretty sweet deal on an awesome way to teach kids a new language.

A group of local bloggers have partnered together with Language Stars to giveaway a free month’s tuition to one lucky winner.  Simply fill out the rafflecopter form below!
