Language Stars

I love taking my 14 month old daughter to Arabic class. Samira is a whiz with kids and the whole staff is very friendly. I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because the class can be challenging for toddlers with varying degrees of language skills and attention spans. It is also a bit pricey, but they often have promotions and payment plans to help parents out.

My 7 year old daughter loves her Spanish class at LS. When we were on vacation this summer she was disappointed that she was missing her class. The staff is so friendly and energetic. It’s such a warm, nurturing place to learn. I’m so impressed with all the Spanish vocabulary my daughter has learned. She feels confident speaking at home and is speaking in full sentences which is encouraged by her teacher at LS. The class challenges my daughter and reinforces her learning with fun games. I can’t say enough good things about LS!

Thank you Language Stares!
Because my daughter’s elementary school does not offer Mandarin we have looked high and low for an affordable place to get her plugged in and Language Stars is doing a fantastic job. The teachers are native speakers and teach with such a joy that its heard for my to keep from joining it.

Language Stars is amazing.
They have found a way to keep kids engaged and having fun while learning.
I have a two year old that went to a dozen or so classes. He wakes up sometimes saying «Chinese class today dad?» and also at night he will ask me to read the Chinese book.
But the best is when we can use it in the real world. Whether it be a child at the beach that speaks mainly Chinese, or a Chinese friend of a friend at a cocktail party. Having him walk up and say hello in Chinese. My child sees first hand the amazement and appreciation in their eyes. He understood as early as 18 months that people talk differently and he has embraced it.
And just the other day he was randomly saying «fietzi» to my wife, his mom. She was confused until he said «Mom, that is airplane in Chinese».
But be prepared. It is expensive. But well worth it in the end if you stick with it (and even if you don’t stick with it, it is well worth exposing a young child to new sound spectrums, so they will more likely be able to hear those tones when they grow up and need to take a language again).
When the kids are early, they just absorb everything. The alternative is to wait until high school and try and have them learn through translation, and have a much harder time. Then you will wish you had eased him into it slowly and at a time where the brain doesn’t translate, but instead just understands the words directly.
And dont be one of those silly people that think it will confuse the child. That is like saying «don’t tell them that a car can also be called an auto, as they will be confused beyond repair».
See you in class!
