Jojo’s Big Language Win (and How Your Kid Can Too!) 🚀
I’ve got to share this win with you, Reader!!! Jojo had the most incredible breakthrough in our language class—and she didn’t even realize it! 🤯 Her brain was doing exactly what I’d hoped for when I designed our language stories. She was making connections, applying new words naturally, and even doing extra French on her own at home—just because she wanted to! When I found out, my teacher heart was ecstatic. Why? Because this is the magic of learning a language the right way—through stories...

Why kids stay in our language program for YEARS
I was thinking the other day Reader—why do our students stick with us for years? With so many language apps and programs out there, what makes them want to keep learning with us? It’s not a fancy curriculum. It’s not memorizing endless vocabulary lists. It’s actually way simpler than that. Stories. Speaking. Consistency. That’s the secret to fluency! As a former classroom teacher, I’ve seen firsthand how traditional curriculums often leave kids bored, uninterested, or just doing the bare...
