Parent testimonials report children speaking Spanish at home after class, singing “Happy Birthday” in Chinese, and enjoying Spanish with teachers described as wonderful and amazing. One parent notes that three children’s French skills from Lingua Natal led to proficiency test results for Harvard and Georgetown Universities, and another reports a four-year-old surpassing the parents’ Spanish fluency. Other parents describe being overjoyed with their children’s Spanish classes and refer to the program as a precious gift, and one family states that teachers are warm, diligent, and involved in all aspects of their son’s care, not just language skills.
