The Benefits of Challenging Kids with Learning a New Language
There are not a lot of places where children can learn a foreign language as a whole. In most programs, they simply learn basic words, phrases, and mainly songs. But here with us, they also learn how to read, write, and speak. I constantly hear that kids cannot concentrate for very long, or that kids […]

Why Class Audits Are Ineffective
We often have requests from students to sit-in on or ‘try out’ a class before signing up. This is something that we have never allowed and I want to take a quick moment to explain why. Firstly, our class sizes are very small and having a new person join for one class is, quite frankly, obtrusive. […]

They would rather retake a level to review and/or focus on topics they did not quite get rather than have no practice or exposure to the language for an entire semester. This […]

With that in mind, CR […]
Class Profile: Crazy Spanish Intro
Meet my new Intro class! This is by FAR the craziest class I have ever had! They laugh through the entire two-hour class every Thursday evening. I wish all of the other classes laughed this way because I think there is something about their laughing that works for learning a new language. First of all, […]
Letter from the Director for Afterschool Spanish Program
Hello! We’re so glad you’re considering signing your child up for Spanish classes! Learning another language has a huge number of benefits for both adults and children, and opens a new world of opportunities both in and out of the classroom. Each class will contain a mixture of traditional and non-traditional learning activities. While the […]
CR Languages Turned 7 Years Old!
With every year that goes by, I’ve wanted to write a short paragraph talking about our first days, but here we are after seven years and we haven’t done it. That is because we have been so busy trying to keep up the good work, updating curriculum, meeting new teachers, and even changing locations! As […]
