Our Learning Programs
6 questionsWhy choose the Langford programs?
Because they deliver measurable results in 1 to 3 months with only 10 to 15 minutes a day. They strengthen language, calculation, and attention, while building key habits such as concentration, discipline, and organization.
How many sessions does a program have?
Each program includes 50 sessions of 10 to 15 minutes, designed to produce sustained progress at each child's own pace.
How long does a session last?
Between 10 and 15 minutes. Short, dynamic, and stress-free, designed around a child's real attention span.
Can programs be combined?
Yes. Children can work on two or more programs in parallel, as long as your child takes the recommended breaks between sessions. A single subscription gives you access to every available program.
Why do the assessments matter?
The diagnostic and final assessments make progress tangible and visible. The process assessments keep your child motivated and reinforce consistency: seeing their own progress is one of the strongest drivers of habit formation.
What is the "will to act"?
It is the foundation of habit and self-discipline. Through small daily steps, children learn to persevere and achieve results, at school and at home.
Language Development & Foreign Languages
7 questions3.1Language & Communication
Why is developing language from an early age so important?
Language is the foundation of communication, critical reading, and clear expression: skills a child needs in every subject at school and in everyday life.
How does the Langford Method develop language?
Through the progressive learning of words, which improves vocabulary, writing, and reading comprehension.
How many words should a child know?
- Age 3: at least 200 words.
- Age 5: around 2,000 words.
- Age 6: up to 6,000 words.
This vocabulary lets a child start school with a real advantage in comprehension and communication.
3.2Foreign Languages
Why learn a language from an early age?
Young children have exceptional brain plasticity for languages, which declines after age 7. Learning in early childhood strengthens memory and cognitive flexibility, and it opens doors for life.
How many words does a child need to communicate in another language?
Between 300 and 600 words are enough for a basic level of communication. The Shaka and Boomerang programs help children reach these goals in a playful and effective way.
Can a child learn two or more languages at the same time?
Yes, as long as the method is followed consistently. The programs are designed so that the languages do not blend together or create confusion for the child.
At what age should a child start a second language?
From early childhood. The earlier, the better: brain plasticity for languages is at its peak before age 7.
Mental Math & Problem Solving
3 questionsWhy is mental calculation so important?
It strengthens logical reasoning, mental speed, and problem solving: skills a child uses in mathematics and in every other area of life.
How are the levels structured?
In progressive stages: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Each child advances at their own pace and gains confidence at every step before moving on to the next.
How long does it take to learn the multiplication tables?
It depends on each child's starting level, but with daily practice results come faster than expected and, most importantly, they stick in long-term memory.
