It is not impossible to teach a foreign language, and there are worlds of possibilities. We will discuss: how to choose which one; how to make it effective; is it possible to make it fun (Yes!); what to look for in a curriculum; what level of proficiency to expect; is kindergarten too young; high school credit; my child is dyslexic; and why isn’t my child speaking the language. Come experience some of the different methods and learn about effective tools. If you have already made your purchase, learn ideas for adapting! Listen, ponder, make your choices, go home and have fun with your kids!
