The Lango Method

A Dynamic Approach

Lango uses a uniquely dynamic approach to ensure that kids learn a new language while having a great time in classes that are highly convenient for parents. We do this by combining what we have learned from language-instruction and educational experts, as well as our own experience teaching new languages to kids—not to mention the thirty years of experience provided by our parent company Intrax Cultural Exchange.

Lango Characters

To ensure that kids love their Lango classes and keep coming back session after session, we introduce them to the Lango Kids©, our multi-cultural, multi-lingual cast of characters. With a puppet version of Lango's mascot Cosmo, the Bulldog serving as the central character, our characters act as an effective teaching tool when working with children who often need to overcome inhibitions to acquire and articulate their new language. The Lango Kids allow us to present unfamiliar material in a child-friendly, comfortable manner.

Immersion-Based Classes

While many language instruction programs claim to be "immersion-based," Lango explicitly trains its teachers to speak only the target language to our students. Using a variety of dramatic techniques, our teachers ensure that when in a Lango class, students are truly immersed in their new language. Only in rare situations, such as when describing a complex activity or when addressing a classroom management challenge, do our teachers speak English; otherwise they work very hard using intonation, gestures and a variety of props to provide a true immersion experience.

Lango Teachers

Lango has developed a comprehensive model for recruiting, selecting and training outstanding teachers. All of our teachers fit a profile that we have developed through careful examination of the skills, characteristics and experience of the best Lango teachers. Our model takes individuals with raw potential to be great language teachers and gives them the information, tools and techniques they need to be great Lango teachers.

Convenience for Families

All of this happens in locations and at times that are convenient for families. By renting out space and establishing programs through schools, Lango keeps its costs down, thus allowing us to deliver more value to families. Lango offers fun, highly effective language instruction in a format and in locations that are perfect for busy parents who want what's best for their children.
