Why bilingualism and multilingualism plays a significant role?

We believe in the power of learning languages.
Researchers have shown the positive impact on brain development from learning languages at an early age. Children and students who learn a second or third language are stronger in their native language. Bilingualism & multilingualism strengthens the executive function of the brain which improves focus and decision making – something we all want.

Early years bilingualism as well as multilingualism plays a significant role when it comes to cognitive advantages that help the brain stay healthy. The effort to constantly choose the right language at the right time provides a “mental gymnastics” for bilinguals and multilinguals which gives them extra practice in focusing their attention.

New researches show that the best way to have smarter kids is to expose them to multiple languages when they are young. Learning and mastering other languages enriches kid’s life, deepens their understanding about how the world works, improves their social and cultural awareness and empathy, and can lead to richer career opportunities.

We believe learning should be fun.
We know that learning a language is a journey that takes place over years. And the benefits for kids from learning a language increase the longer they stay with it. We know kids will stick with stuff longer when they’re having fun.

Having fun helps kids relax and as a result they are willing to try things without a fear of embarrassment.

We believe in a conversation focus.
All the vocabulary and grammar knowledge doesn’t help you speak a language if you don’t have practice using it in spontaneous conversation. There are different neural networks in the brain that need to be developed for conversation fluency to happen. Academy of Multiple Intelligences gets kids talking and neurons developing.

We believe in human interactions.
There’s lot of great apps for learning languages, and we love them. But there is something about talking to a real human being that makes language learning, real, tangible, and immediate. There’s a higher level of engagement in the brain – and that helps make stuff stick better.

In a one-on-one or a small group session with our mentors, mistakes can get gently and immediately corrected as well as checked that the explanations are understood.

We believe in meaningful content.
That’s why our mentors are ready with great content about interesting topics and use it to spark great conversations.

Different content introduces new vocabulary and expands understanding about the world around us. How cool will it be when your child can explain why some animals are albinos, or the history of the Great Wall of China, in Mandarin, Spanish or Russian?

We believe in kids.
We built Academy of Multiple Intelligences for kids to develop their confidence, their brains, and their intelligences.

Learning and mastering other languages gives children a lifetime to benefit from cross-cultural friendships, broader career opportunities, exciting travel adventures and deeper insights into how others see the world. It also promotes diversity and prepares children providing them with the tools needed to shine in today’s fast paced world.
