Foreign Language: The Language Workshop For Children
Learning a second language enhances a child's awareness of
her primary one. And the similarities and differences between
the languages help her understand the sounds, the words, and
the rules for putting sentences together. ‘Plus, the
more words a child hears by 2, the more her vocabulary will
grow,' says Cindy Kennedy Reedy, a child-development specialist
at Arcadia University, in Glenside, Pennsylvania. These classes
engage babies with short, language-based activities that incorporate
song and dance."
Parents Magazine
"Four year old Alexandra D. talks to her toy animals
in Japanese. At snack time, she spontaneously shifts to French.
Lindsay S. at age 8 shows an ability to carry on a basic conversation
in French without the slightest English accent. Both have
been students since the age of 2 at The Language Workshop
for Children."
Better Homes and Gardens
"In Manhattan's Upper East Side, parents line up around
the block to enroll their infants and toddlers in François
Thibaut's language classes."
The Wall Street Journal
"Students at The Language Workshop for Children respond
to the lessons because they are fun. First they might be singing
and moving around and, minutes later, be sitting and identifying
cards and toys in French or Spanish."
Associated Press
"At French for Tots in Manhattan, François Thibaut
teaches children how to speak French. His love of the children
and enthusiasm for what he is teaching is legendary among
New York parents."
The New York Times
"Early learning is thriving in New York. It sounds like
beginner's French, the only difference is that the students
have not yet learned how to speak. This is The Language Workshop
for Children."
BBC USA Direct News
"And judging by a recent visit, they leave with a working
vocabulary and an accent parents will envy. Thibaut uses action
games so that youngsters learn to take direction in French,
skits to sharpen communication skills, plus workbooks and
tapes."
