We love Delphine\u2019s dedication and commitment to learning a new language from a very young age. When we see our students making progress like this, we want to share it with the world! It\u2019s never too early or too late to challenge yourself and learn something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Delphine is 7 years old and has been taking online junior Spanish classes with CR Languages for about a year now, starting in September 2021. Her goal is to be able to communicate with other people and cultures in the future as she wants to travel the world to places like Mexico, Peru, and Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controlslist=\"nodownload\" height=\"868\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1916 \/ 868;\" width=\"1916\" controls src=\"https:\/\/crl-media.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06234321\/1124e99a-52eb-4a28-b503-cda2cca09b65_AdobeExpress.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption><em>An example of one of her online class sessions with her teacher, Cristina!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of her earliest day care providers had a language-immersive environment, so the majority of her early years involved being around other languages. At the beginning of the 2021 school year Delphine asked to learn Spanish and French. After talking to Julieta, her parents decided to start with Spanish. Her mom, Katherine, describes Delphine as very thoughtful, personable, outgoing, and loves to learn. People often tell her parents that she is an old soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Having the motivation and desire to learn a new language, Delphine\u2019s parents note that they could not have made her take a language class she did not want to take. This is really important when considering the challenges of learning a new language, especially for a child. Regardless, Delphine studies Spanish for about an extra hour each week outside of class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Her mom notes that she watches cartoons, listens to music, and plays with a Spanish app on an iPad to help her practice with the language. Delphine often incorporates the language into her everyday conversation, which is awesome! She mostly uses for transactional interactions like \u2018Hello\u2019, \u2018Please\u2019, \u2018Thank you\u2019, and \u2018You\u2019re welcome\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Helping your child through this learning experience is crucial. Some things Delphine\u2019s mom helps her with includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Setting up the laptop to start her online session each week<\/li><li>Standing by during the class session<\/li><li>Asking how the session went afterwards.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to show interest in your child\u2019s learning experience and have them summarize what they learned as well. After class, Delphine will talk about her teacher, Cristina, and what she has learned that day. Her mom notes that one reason Delphine likes to continue studying Spanish is her bond with Cristina. Katherine says, \u201cShe has a great bond with Cristina &#8211; that makes a HUGE difference. She&#8217;s also so curious about the world around her and traveling someday that she&#8217;s very motivated to keep learning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When we asked her mom what she does, if anything, to keep Delphine engaged she said, \u201cWe don&#8217;t have to do much &#8211; she looks forward to Spanish each week!\u201d. Like we mentioned before, it\u2019s important to have the child be learning something they want to learn, and show interest in their studies as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As a mom who has a child learning a language online, Katherine says, \u201cAs a mom who works full-time outside of the home, it&#8217;s so nice to not have to plan for the extra time to drive her somewhere for class. Delphine started Kindergarten during the pandemic, and adapted well to online learning, so she&#8217;s largely unfazed by interacting with a teacher online.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in enrolling your child in an online language class, <a href=\"https:\/\/crlanguages.com\/uk\/%d0%ba%d0%be%d0%bd%d1%82%d0%b0%d0%ba%d1%82\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>get in touch with us today<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Read about another student making excellent progress <a href=\"https:\/\/crlanguages.com\/uk\/student-highlight-thomas-staley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>\u0442\u0443\u0442.<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another amazing student is making progress at CR Languages!
