Curriculum

Spanish, Mandarin, & French for Kids

Each season (Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall), students learn new thematic vocabulary in addition to building upon the language foundations (basic sentence construction, movement, colors, feelings, etc....) taught in each session.

Tot-and-Parent Classes-Ages 18 months to 3 years

Children in this class don't sit still for long! Accompanied by parents or caregivers, these young "students" (ages 1½ to 3 years) start learning a new language through a variety of activities designed to engage their minds and bodies. Music and movement form the foundation for the classes, as the children sing simple, rhythmic songs and dance, run, spin and jump around the room! Meanwhile, our teachers work with the accompanying adults, teaching them age-appropriate games and activities so that they can reinforce learning at home. These "playclasses" are great for parents and caregivers who want to learn a language alongside their children!

Preschool Classes-Ages 3 to 5

Fun and play form the foundation for our Preschool classes. Within two or three classes, kids ages 3-5 learn key phrases in their new language through simple, repeated songs and chants. Meanwhile, they become familiar with more complex aspects of the language by engaging in "adventures," art projects and movement-based games that require them to solve simple problems - in their new language, of course! These adventures, starring the Lango Kids, our multicultural cast of characters, take students to other lands and cultures to ensure that their language instruction is combined with cultural exposure. Preschool classes are great for kids who are enrolled in preschool, but have not yet started kindergarten.

Combo Classes-Ages 2 to 7 Lango currently offers all classes as Combo classes!

A variety of class activities adjusted for age differences is presented in each class.  This is a popular option for parents of two or more children.

Early Elementary Classes (Afterschool)-Ages 5 to 9

A strong cultural emphasis grounds our early elementary language lessons in different customs and traditions, while a simple literacy component ensures that these students not only listen, speak, sing and play in the target language, but read and write as well. Our curriculum takes students on imaginary journeys where they work on fun problem solving adventures built around cultural themes.

Lango is proud to offer these classes in the north Austin metro area and is looking to partner with local schools to provide after-school classes to their students.

Home-Based Classes-Ages 1-9

Our teachers come to you, in your home or other location of your choosing, and teach the same curriculum that is used in our retail classes.  We allow up to 8 children per class, but the curriculum can be tailored for smaller groups with similar language experience to enhance learning.  Your group leader is responsible for the $40 to $50 per class tuition; the cost can be shared with the other families in your group.  Please contact us for a pricing and payment schedule.
