Introducing your child to their tribal languages at a young age is a gift that will last your child's entire lifetime. Young children have a natural ability to learn new languages, and they are more likely to be fluent and speak with a native accent if exposed to the new language before the age of six. This is not to say that your child won't be able to learn another language as an adult - just that it will take longer, feel more like work, and he or she may not be able to speak with an authentic accent. This early, natural exposure to language provides stimulation for developing minds and lays the foundation for future language success. Little Linguist takes advantage of this window of opportunity by helping your child build vocabulary and learn sentence structure in English, while becoming familiar with a second or even a third language.Language revitalization is more important now than ever in Indian Country.
