Language Stars Hosts Back To School Open House Through August 16, 2014! {& A Giveaway!}

Monday, August 4, 2014

The back-to-school season is the perfect time of year to start something new. Over the next few weeks, we will all be getting ourselves organized for the new academic year and will be considering what activities to sign the kids up for. Have you ever considered language learning as part of your child's activities? Young children are at a particular advantage for language learning and can pick up another language quite quickly and adeptly. My daughter has been enrolled in the French language programming at Language Stars for the past few years and I have to say that I have been pretty impressed with her ability to pick up the language--in particular the accent! When we have a conversation in French, she often corrects my accent--which is very much welcome because it is not the best!

Join Language Stars for their Open House weeks {through August 17}

Saturday, August 3, 2013

Recently, my family went on a trip to Paris. My daughter has been enrolled in the Language Stars program for the past four years and it seemed like the right time to go. It was great to see her absorb the French culture and experience everything that she had been learning about. She was so excited to go and use her French! She was able to order in French at the cafes and made sure to say bonjour and merci. While she still has much to learn, I was proud that she used what she knew. The hardest part about learning another language often is getting over that fear of making a mistake and just speaking. I was proud to see her do that and Language
Stars helped her get there!

If you have been interested in learning about Language Stars, they do have Open Houses going on right now. Their Open Houses are going on now through August 17, 2013. During the Open House weeks, you may tour your local Language Stars location, try a sample class, meet the international teaching team and learn why childhood is such an important window for language learning. We were hooked the first time we attended a sample class. My daughter looks forward to her French classes each week and is always eager to share anything that she has learned about French culture or the French language over the week with her classmates. Language Stars teaches through Funimmersion--a play based method allowing kids to learn through doing projects, playing, singing and more. In the spring and fall, parents attend a session with their children and join in the fun!

If you would like to join Language Stars during their Open House weeks, you may request a time for your visit through their Open House page or calling 866-557-8277. While at the Center, you can enter to win an Ipad mini loaded with fun foreign language apps. If you enroll during the Open House weeks, you will receive $100 off of your tuition. If you are already a Language Stars family, you will receive $100 off of tuition for every family you refer that enrolls by August 17.

It doesn't cost anything to check Language Stars out, so take a peek! There are 15 Chicagoland locations including a new Wrigleyville location! Nous aimons Language Stars!

Introducing Language Stars: Visit and Learn about Programs during Open House Weeks

Tuesday, January 8, 2013

My daughter has been part of the Language Stars family for 3 years. When she was born, I knew that one of my dreams for her was to give her the chance to learn a language at a young age. Young language learners are at an extreme advantage and can learn languages easily as their brains are developing. To me, learning a second language was one of the best gifts that I could give her.

Fun while learning at Language Stars.
My daughter has grown tremendously during her time at Language Stars. The program is play-based. So, the children are totally immersed in the language while engaging in activities that they love! Additionally, there are opportunities for parents to participate in the learning. We are sent information about the lessons as well as songs and activities to work on with the children if we choose. Also, there are parent weeks that allow you to see your child in action and participate yourself! 

You can see the action yourself the next couple of weeks. Language Stars will be having an Open House from January 14th-27th. During the Open House, you can tour tour local Language Star facility, check out the fun classrooms, and meet the friendly and enthusiastic staff. Also, if you are a new family and enroll during the Open House period, you will receive $100 off of your tuition. Before we started at Language Stars, my daughter did attend for a sample class. We were immediately hooked!

Here is some information from Language Stars on what they have to offer during the Open House Weeks:

A foreign language puts the world in your child's backyard, bringing other cultures to life.
