Welcome!

Bienvenido • Bienvenue • Καλώς ήρθατε 欢迎 • Benvenuti • ‫ • שלום‬Добро пожаловать • स्वागत • Hoşgeldiniz I was raised in both the United States and Italy, and quickly recognized the immense personal and professional value of being bilingual. When my son was born, it was important to me that he understand, connect, and honor our heritage.

Carousel of Languages,® is an enriching early childhood foreign language program providing lessons for infants, toddlers, and young children in ten languages including Italian, French, Spanish, Mandarin, Russian, English, Greek, Hebrew, Turkish, and Hindi.

Our proprietary Carousel Teaching System emphasizes multi-sensory learning through verbal, visual and tactile association. It gives me great pride to see children inspired by our engaging educational materials, passionate instructors and enchanting environments.

I would like to personally invite you to open your child’s doorway to global citizenship and discover our world of languages.

Cordiali saluti,

Patrizia Saraceni Corman Founder & CEO patrizia@carousellanguages.com

Studies on brain development indicate that babies from all over the world are "citizens of the world" who can discriminate all the sounds of all languages, which you and I can't. Early exposure to more than one language builds a more powerful brain, with faster and more efficient synaptic connections.

Why Learn a Foreign Language?

“New studies on brain development indicate that early exposure to more than one language builds a more powerful brain, with faster and more efficient synaptic connections.” ­­ —Newsweek

“Speaking two languages rather than just one has obvious practical benefits in an increasingly globalized world. The advantages of bilingualism are even more fundamental than being able to converse with a wider range of people. Being bilingual, it turns out, makes you smarter.”

—The New York Times

“The doorway “The Bentley of to global citizenship” the language immersion scene” —Peter, Father of Meara, 3
