Language Camps for Youngsters

Foreign language study is an important step toward becoming an educated citizen, and childhood is that time of life when language acquisition is most rapid. It is easiest to learn a foreign language when you are a child. (Most viewers of this website learned English as a foreign language when we were babies.) Here is a list of language camp facilities located in North and Central America that offer foreign-language instruction (in Spanish, French, German, English and several other languages) to children in a summer-camp setting.

Many universities recommend a semester or year abroad for their students. Many Americans abroad find teaching English as a foreign language to be financially and culturally rewarding. Cities in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America have dozens, hundreds of foreign language schools, with English receiving the most emphasis. Having learned at least one foreign language as a child is fine preparation for your child to teach English as a foreign language.
