Lurie Language offers you a Total Memory Workout! 

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced learner, activating and challenging the part of your brain used when learning a second language is an important way to preserve memory and slow down cognitive decline. Learning a second language at any age is truly "memory medicine". A multilingual lifestyle is a great way to stay vibrant! 

According to a recent Good Housekeeping magazine article, 'Boost Your Brainpower', one of the best ways to improve your memory is to study a new language!   Studying another language at any age can "promote thinking skills, increase mental agility and delay the aging of the brain." 

Feel confident while traveling overseas for business or personal enrichment. Lurie Language prepares you both linguistically and culturally for your travels. 

Give your memory a workout at Lurie Language!

Adults can benefit from language learning to strengthen their memory by learning in language

"chunks", which are words and short phrases that help us retain key phrases. Anything that helps our brain work harder and in different ways, such as learning a new language, can help boost our memory!

 Finally the head start your child needs to learn a new language in a caring, nurturing environment! Elementary school children have an innate and powerful drive to learn a second language. Lessons should be exciting, rich in culture, and most of all fun! Children learn all the basic components of  grammar,  pronunciation and vocabulary  and begin to form simple sentences from the very first lesson.  Parents play a key role in nurturing their child’s linguistic development. We discuss ways to supplement your child’s language learning process at home. Using authentic materials, children are exposed to both the language and culture of their new language. They receive the foundation they need for success!

  Finally the Experts in brain development research have concluded that early exposure to more than one language enhances brain power! At Lurie Language, we believe that an early start in languages is one of the best advantages you can give your child! Children of pre-school age are excellent mimics and enjoy learning a new sound system. At Lurie Language we bring languages to life!   We learn through doing with authentic crafts, culture, stories, songs, games, holiday celebrations and plenty of fun. In private and small group sessions, children learn to express themselves in their new language through doing, not memorizing. We offer a comprehensive program that covers all the essentials. Kids learn words and phrases that they will use in their daily life, and most importantly, will get a head start on developing a life-long love of languages! As a parent, you play a key role in your child’s successful learning experience. We communicate regularly  with parents to discuss both your child’s  progress and present productive techniques to encourage language learning at home.
