Youth Programs

 

We are now offering after-school youth programs at our Language learning Center. Students will learn basic language skills by engaging in fun activities including games, songs, and other practice interactions. By starting language studies at a young age children easily acquire the skills that make using a second language automatic.

Our classes are presented by language teachers experienced in teaching elementary school. We have six week introductory classes for students between the ages of 7 and 11 in the following languages: Portuguese, Spanish, French,and Italian. Classes meet once a week for one hour. Tuition is $150.

Introductory language classes cover vocabulary acquisition, basic conversational skills, simple dialogue reading and writing.

Intermediate and advanced classes will be available soon.

We also offer individual sessions for $50/hour.
