Back in June we were delighted when ITV called us asking if we could help #SamanthaFaiers introduce her son to Spanish!

Sam was bilingual in English and Spanish as a child, but has lost some of her fluency over the years. She understands just how important it is to know a second language and how easily little children pick up new languages like sponges.

#Lingotot has been teaching language classes to children aged 0-11 since 2010. The sessions have captured
everyone's imagination since the very start with #GabbyLogan's #bbc5live show attending our very first class!

Since then Lingotot has grown into a multi award-winning education company delivering foreign language lessons to over 10,000 children every week. Sam knew she could trust us to really engage Paul and give some language-learning strategies to use at home, involving the whole family.

So Michelle Marsland of #LingototNE delivered a special 1:1 session in Sam’s Essex home. She sang some our favourite songs with Sam and baby Paul, played some simple games in Spanish and shared some top tips for speaking Spanish at home. 

“Baby Paul was simply adorable. He is a real smiler and thoroughly enjoyed the session! Sam’s mother-in-law Gaynor was really enthusiastic too,” says Michelle, whose baby son James is exactly the same age as Paul. 

“Sam looked stunning and was really lovely. We had a cuppa and a chat after the session and we still text each other regularly. Looking forward to seeing Sam again for our next session!”

Michelle uses Spanish at home with James and he is responding to the language well, even saying his first word 'Hola' while waving last week!

But why learn a second language in childhood? Research suggests that children who know two languages can gain an academic and social advantage over those who speak only one. Children have an amazing ability to learn language and this happens best when it is interactive, engaging and child-centered - just like our Lingotot classes. (If you are reading this and are still sceptical, please read our “10 Reasons to learn a language with Lingotot”)

Tune in to #ITVBe tonight, 19th October at 21:00 to watch Michelle, Sam and baby Paul in action!

Lingotot to star in the Mummy Diaries

We are sooooo excited!  Lingotot  is set to star in ITV’s eagerly anticipated Sam Faiers; The Mummy Diaries.
The six week series which follows the day to day life of the hugely popular reality TV star as she finds her feet as a mother to baby Paul will feature a Spanish Lingotot class inside the young mum’s home.

Lingotot, which provides children’s language classes for pre-school and primary school aged children, was invited to help introduce the Spanish language to her nine month old son.

Sam, 25 who herself lived her early years in Spain and once spoke the language fluently is keen that her young son be exposed to a second language from a very early age and called upon the Lingotot team to help.  

An hour-long session was filmed for the camera and based on a typical pre-school community class the class was filled with songs and actions, bringing huge smiles of delight to the faces of both baby Paul’s and the former TOWIE star.
But far from performing only for the camera, Sam has been keen to continue the classes and Lingotot has returned to her home to deliver additional support.

Lingotot helps thousands of children each week to develop a love for learning a foreign language, delivering sessions in French, Spanish, German, Chinese and Arabic. The award winning classes have been designed to engage children as young as a few weeks with age appropriate songs, actions, drama and vocabulary.

Angela Sterling, Lingotot founder said: “It is never too soon to start and teach a child a foreign language.  Between birth and five years of age, the human brain is hard-wired for learning multiple languages.  After age five, this critical window begins to close and it gets much harder to acquire a new language and a good accent.

“Babies’ and young children’s brains are like sponges and people are always amazed by what they take in.  Often some of the first words of the young babies who come to our classes are in the target language and are used in context.

“We are delighted that such a high profile celebrity such as Sam Faiers has taken to Lingotot and hope that seeing baby Paul so engaged in the class and witnessing the joy it brings to him and his mum will help to shine a spotlight on the huge benefits and enjoyment to be found in exposing young babies to foreign languages.”

 The six week series is being shown on ITV Be on Wednesday evenings from 12th October.  Tune to episode 2 at 21:00 on Wednesday 19th October to see Lingotot, Sam and baby Paulin action.
