French and Spanish for Little Ones!
It’s never too early to start learning a language! Just exposing toddlers and youngsters to the sounds of a second language can give them lifelong advantages.
Research shows that children who learn a second language improve their executive functioning skills in the following areas:
-
Cognitive Skills: Flexible thinking, paying attention, and ignoring irrelevant information.
-
Social Skills: Demonstrating empathy, perspective-taking, and theory of mind.
-
Language-processing Skills

-- Mama Smiles Blog
“Whether it’s seeing friends at the playground, hunting for the mischievous Fritzi, or laughing with Marie, children will love learning French this way! Whistlefritz should be applauded and earns the Dove All-Ages Seal.”
Dove Foundation
"[The French Educator's Collection] . . . leaves "competitors" in the dust. . . Everything is well thought out, well scripted, and very well produced. . . Several testers who had tried other language programs told us that the instructions and ease of use here are incomparable. For parents who are interested in introducing a foreign language to their children, this is the perfect place to start."

Over my 12 years of homeschooling, I have found that education is liberating. The class that has taught me the most is Latin. This ancient language teaches us how partaking in hard work is rewarding and liberating.
Using the Robert Henle textbooks, the JAM with Latin classroom teaches an ancient language with a modern twist. Perfect for homeschooling ages 11 and up.
