Language Mindset: Online classes for kids!

We overcomplicate language learning, truly. We’re way, way, way too much in our heads about it. I always smile when I see adult YouTubers coming to the same realization I’ll be sharing tomorrow during our virtual Open House. As a polyglot—and after learning what actually moves the needle versus what wastes time—this is the world I’ve created for our young learners at The Language Mindset. This Virtual Open House is for you if… you want your kiddo to speak another language your kiddo isn’t old...

I grew up completely monolingual — my parents didn’t speak another language to me. And yet today, I’m fluent in three languages, learning my ninth, and helping families raise confident, multilingual kids. We break the old concepts of language learning — no memorizing, no apps, no pressure — and replace them with connection, confidence, and results that actually last. If you’re curious how your child can actually become fluent, join me for our Virtual Open House on Wednesday, October 22nd,...

Just a friendly reminder, Reader—sometimes the hardest part is simply starting. Because your kiddo can start believing—literally overnight—that: Japanese can be easy French can be easy Italian can be easy You choose your language (or two!)—we offer eight of them: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Yes, fluency takes time. So, just buckle up, relax, and let's get this language train rolling. It’s a lifelong journey, doesn't that take the pressure off and...

☀️This made my morning, Reader!! Getting kids to buy in, take ownership, or become excited and self-motivated in language learning is half the battle. This casual conversation I had with a mom this morning made me so happy. Her son used to have zero interest in French. He didn’t want to speak it with his grandmother, even though it’s their family heritage language. His mom really wanted him to learn, so she signed him up for French classes. She told me she was shocked when he came home after...

Learning a second language isn’t just about words—it’s about building a stronger brain. When kids study a new language, their gray matter grows, boosting memory, focus, problem-solving, and creativity. And these benefits aren’t just for today—bilingual brains stay sharper for life, Reader!!! Research shows that the best time to start is now, while children are young. Kids who learn a second language before age 10 develop increased gray matter in areas of the brain linked to language and...

Next week, I’ll walk back into my alma mater elementary school — but this time, not as a student. Over 50 children are enrolled in the morning language program, and hearing the feedback from parents about previous programs has been eye-opening, Reader!!! For years, these programs offered 8 weeks of Spanish or French and then started over again — leaving kids with exposure, but not progress. Parents told us they were tired of “starting from scratch” every few months. They wanted something...

Reader, When I studied and lived abroad, I was always seen as unusual. It was unusual for an American to really speak the local language — and to speak it well. Even here in the U.S., when people hear me speaking Spanish, French, or Italian, they often ask, “Oh, did you grow up with that language at home?” And I have to say, “No… I studied it in school.” But here’s the thing: I’m the exception, not the rule, of becoming fluent before graduating. I had a motivation that expanded outside of the...

Reader, Kids stick with routines when they’re VISIBLE and EASY. That’s why I created two simple language trackers you can use right now. ✅ Print out✅ Tape it where your kids see it every day (the fridge or bathroom mirror are perfect spots!)✅ Watch their language confidence grow You can choose between: Weather Tracker ☀️⛈️ Emotions Tracker 😁 ☹️ I even filmed a quick video showing you how to use them. WATCH HERE If you’d like your free copy of either tracker—or both—just hit reply and let me...

Reader, A quick note for you, as I’ve been thinking about your kiddo’s language journey. I hope this reaches you as both an encouraging and hopeful reminder. When I tell people I taught myself three languages to fluency, the reaction is often the same: “I could never do that.” And honestly? You’re not wrong to think that. Maybe you’re recalling your high school experience and wondering, “How do people actually become fluent?” The truth is, they rarely do in school settings. Perhaps one...
