What the Experts at LangoKids Irvine Recommend:

 

A lot of people often ask how many classes are enough for a child to become bilingual. According to our experience as teachers and parents of fully bilingual kids, we think that simply the more exposure to the language, the better. There is no such thing as "enough" when it comes to languages. Or better said, enough will be 24/7. Since for many of you, this might now be possible, here is what we recommend:

• If you have a fairly good understanding of the language or have the opportunity to have your kids interact with native speakers, all you need to do is to ask for our "tips to use the language at home" and let us guide you. Under this condition, one class is recommended, and at least 30 to 60 minutes a day of language exposure is needed.

 

• If you have no experience in the language and want to not interfere with the accent your child is exposed to when he/she takes classes with our native instructors, we recommend taking at least 2 classes a week (Either two Lango Classes if your child does not know how to read or write, or one Lango and One Reading and Writing class). Doing homework is also imperative. We will walk you through the process so that it's effective for all parties involved.   

 

• Language acquisition is an age sensitive matter. The younger the kids are, the easier languages are for them, the older they are (close to 8) the more difficult and artitifical this process gets. Ideally, all kids need to take 2 hours a week at the very least and as many weeks of Camp Lango as possible for no less than 4 years for us to say that the child is bilingual and biliterate. As your child gets closer to or beyond 7 years old, the higher the need is to take 2 or 3 classes a week plus camps. Contact us and we'll give you a very honest and personal estimate of the time and money needed to achieve bilingualism and biliteracy in your kids.

 

• As for summer camps, it's only during the first week that the kids are adjusting to hear all instructions and interactions in the target language. The second week and on is when real learning and a more substantial usage of the language happen. If you are considering camps, we recommend registering for more than 1 week for more tangible results. Believe it or not, 7 weeks of summer camp are equivalent to 1 entire year of classes, however, classes after camps are recommended to maintain and advanced the level obtained in the summer.

 OUR LEARING KIT

We place a strong emphasis on our materials as they are the means to ensure learning in and outside the classroom. When a student is registered for the first time, he recieves a CD and a book. Toddlers receive a book and flashcards or plush toy. Second and multiple times registrations receive a book, stickers with the content of the session, and a set of flashcards. We send updates to parents and provide online support for language acquisition at home for you and your child at NO CHARGE.
