Research has shown that childhood is the best time to learn a language. With fewer inhibitions than adults, children can absorb the nuances of a foreign language and often speak without an accent.

Berlitz kids and teens programs encourage intellectual development, introduce a global perspective, and can enhance your child’s future career opportunities.

  • Watch cartoons and TV shows for kids in their target language.
  • Listen to in-language podcasts targeted at beginner-level language learners.
