Who we are
Language Adventure was founded in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1996.
We offer fun and engaging language classes for preschool and K-6 as well as great materials for students and teachers. Our goal is to encourage lifelong learning by offering a quality foreign language program to students in our local schools.
Our Method
The Language Adventure method of world language learning is a combination immersion and age-appropriate formal learning.
Immersion surrounds students with the language they are learning.
- Students are constantly exposed to the language they are learning
- They learn vocabulary and phrases that allow them to follow instructions
and focus on real-life tasks.
Formal learning presents material systematically; this method mimics the way children learn their first language.
- Listening
- Imitating
- Responding Physically
- Responding Orally
- Reading
- Writing
The interactive approach encourages participation and learning.
Students never get bored!
Culture is an integral part of the Language Adventure curriculum.
- We learn about traditions and of the countries where the language is spoken that are relevant to the students’ lives.
Why learn a language?
