[quote=Anonymous]I HIGHLY recommend LS.  I have two kids (one in the 1-3 yr old classes and another in the 3-5 yr old classes).  They are now each taking 3 languages there, and they LOVE it!!!  They talk about LS constantly and talk in the languages (or sing the LS songs) all the time.  I've also checked out a bunch of other programs (including Communikids) and have to say, LS is BY FAR the best.  No comparison.  Advantages to LS are --

1.  Excellent teachers.  When we first started, I thought we were just super lucky with the teachers we got.  After time, I have realized that they are all fabulous.  Not only are they native speakers who have been screened thoroughly, but they have been through a serious training program too.  So, every teacher we have had has been WONDERFUL.  (The difference between teachers at LS and elsewhere is HUGE.)

2.  The curriculum is brilliant.  Each week they focus on something different.  Every other week, LS posts their new vocab, songs, activities, etc on the LS webpage.  I don't speak any of the languages, so I find these postings (and the native speaker recording) invaluable.

3.  Immersion.  The classes are 100% immersion in the language.  Someone above mentioned that their child didn't know what anyone was saying and was overwhelmed.  From what I observed with my kids, the first few classes were a little hard.  But after just a couple classes, they recognized a lot the language.  (They talk about some similar things each class, e.g., at snack time they discuss food, drink, washing hands, etc.).  And after just a few more classes, my kids were using the words, phrases, sentences at home!

4.  FUN.  If you want your kids to learn a language and love it, definitely go to Language Stars.
