Not Your Typical Language Class for Teens

Note: Session are on Saturdays - 4pm CST via Zoom 


Due to high school requirements, chances are your teen has already been exposed to one or more non-English language. One of the challenges of learning a Foreign language is that it's hard to be immersed when you are not surrounded by the target language. And with Yoruba being a tonal language, it's all the more important to finds innovative ways of using and retaining what has been thought. With our teens class, inject various ways to learn. Of course we still use music, stories, movies, role-playing, etc to convey language and cultural nuances.
