Foreign Language Classes for Kids in Connecticut (Fairfield County)

3/4/15 - By Katie McKnight

With a tenuous (at best!) handle on my native English, I am perpetually jealous of people who have mastered multiple languages. And the best way to learn multiple languages…start early!  Children’s brains are far more receptive to languages than adult brains.  If you’re interested in having your child learn another language, consider some of these language schools and classes in Fairfield County.
