World Brooklyn: Tips To Raising A Bilingual Child

It takes a global community to raise a little citizen of the world!

Did you know that two-thirds of the world is bilingual? And what better place to raise a bilingual child than Brooklyn!

Enjoy an afternoon of class demos and a Mandarin, Spanish and French children’s book fair.

Sunday, January 10
2.30-5.00 PM

The Coop School, 87 Irving Place (Clinton Hill)

Cost: $15 per family

Advance registration encouraged as space is limited


Panel topics include: 

  • How do you define bilingualism?
  • If I introduce a second language, will my child experience speech delays?
  • At what point should a parent introduce a second language - how much, how often?
  • Bilingual, full immersion, once a week programs?
  • What are the merits of raising a child bi-lingual if both parents only speak English?

Lango Brooklyn



Lango Brooklyn is a full-immersion foreign language program that teaches Spanish, French and Mandarin Chinese to young children ages 0-12 using art, dance, movement, music and games. Taught by native speaking teachers, classes are generally 45-minutes in length and offered in small group settings of 5-10 students.

Lango was started by Brooklyn mom Sharon Ng whose dream is to prepare children to be global citizens who are intellectually curious, culturally aware and linguistically capable ALL while having a blast learning another language!
