Caryn Antonini, graduate of the Georgetown University School of Languages and Linguistics, has created the new, innovative learning tool – EARLY LINGO. It was at the University that Caryn cultivated her understanding of a child’s acquisition of language and the relationship to their cognitive development. As a new mother, Caryn wanted to give her child the advantages of learning a foreign language as an infant and all the subsequent benefits it would bring to her child later in life, but was unable to find anything on the market that would accomplish this effectively.

ABOUT THE SERIES

• Early Lingo is a playful approach to learning.
• The interactive program allows young children to become familiar with a foreign language through immersive and repetitive learning techniques.
• The use of playful animation and live-action video create a stimulating visual context.
• The Early Lingo Series is the first of its kind, offering a solid foundation in learning foreign languages. With frequent exposure any child will be able to speak with no accent and familiarity.
• Early Lingo uses the Total Immersion Method, a method that immerses the child immediately into the target language with no use of translation.
• Early Lingo uses native speakers who articulate, speak slowly and use comprehensible words and phrases that are easy for the child to understand.
• Children can learn a foreign language in their own home at any given time, an easy and convenient learning experience for all.

LEARNING FACTS

Learning a foreign language will not confuse your child. Quite the opposite – studies show bilingual and multilingual children score higher on SATs.

“Learning a foreign language allows the brain the flexibility to express ideas in different ways – it opens the mind to think outside the box.”
- Prof. Alissa M. Webel, Georgetown University

There is no limit to the number of languages a child can learn. The brain separates neural pathways for each language. Young children’s brains are capable of imitating any sound and can therefore learn additional languages without an accent.

“A young mind is wired to learn any language without accent as a child is capable of imitating any sound.”
- Prof. Alissa M. Webel, Georgetown University

“It’s such a wonderful gift to our children to expose them to multiple languages at a young age when they’re so receptive to new language development. Early Lingo is a terrific and creative way to stimulate the young brain, and to set the stage for mastering new sounds and speech.”
-Dr. Lee Miller, FAAP
