You’ve lived this. Endless verb charts...
¡Buuuuuenos días Reader! 🌞 Can we talk about how traditional schools treat grammar like it’s the main event of language learning? Spoiler: It's not. You’ve lived this. Endless verb charts. Noun gender tables. Pages of grammar rules drilled into your brain... and yet, you still couldn’t speak the language. It’s wild how far you can get with just 20 verbs. Honestly, even less. I know because I’ve done it. I’m fluent in 3 languages, conversational in 6+, and I didn’t get there by diagramming...
From “Hola” to Full Sentences—in Just 6 Weeks
I’m Honestly Blown Away, Reader!!! Today was the final class in our 6-week course—and I’m still amazed at how much these kids have grown. In just a few short weeks, they went from shy “Hola”s to full-on conversations. It’s wild what happens when kids are actually excited to learn. And to be honest? That wasn’t me at their age. I failed Spanish at 14. Ended up in summer school because classes were so boring, I assumed I just wasn’t good at it. Turns out I was—I just needed the right approach....
Unpopular Opinion: Don’t Take a Summer Break from This
Hey Reader! How are you today? Spring is almost here in upstate New York, and I’m loving the little signs of change—budding flowers on my walks and a seasonal update for my bonsai LEGO (goodbye green, hello pink!). I wanted to pop in and check in with you about languages and your kiddo. As someone who loves language learning, I want to share an idea that might surprise you… 💡 Taking a break from language learning in the summer? No need! It’s common to think of summer as a time to pause all...

Jojo’s Big Language Win (and How Your Kid Can Too!) 🚀
I’ve got to share this win with you, Reader!!! Jojo had the most incredible breakthrough in our language class—and she didn’t even realize it! 🤯 Her brain was doing exactly what I’d hoped for when I designed our language stories. She was making connections, applying new words naturally, and even doing extra French on her own at home—just because she wanted to! When I found out, my teacher heart was ecstatic. Why? Because this is the magic of learning a language the right way—through stories...

Why kids stay in our language program for YEARS
I was thinking the other day Reader—why do our students stick with us for years? With so many language apps and programs out there, what makes them want to keep learning with us? It’s not a fancy curriculum. It’s not memorizing endless vocabulary lists. It’s actually way simpler than that. Stories. Speaking. Consistency. That’s the secret to fluency! As a former classroom teacher, I’ve seen firsthand how traditional curriculums often leave kids bored, uninterested, or just doing the bare...
