ABOUT THEÂ ORGANIC LANGUAGE PROJECT
Started by a language teacher turned stay-at-home mom, the Organic Language Project connects homeschool families across the Americas and provides them with everything they need to help each other acquire a new language. Rooted in the principles of Charlotte Mason and Francois Gouin, our curriculum will help participants of all levels become providers of living language to their peers across borders. No flash cards. No audio files. Just real people and their voices. Come interact with us!
HOW IT WORKS
Meaningful and alive, as language is meant to be.
This program is designed for your family to acquire Spanish in a small group setting. Start by filling out a Family Profile. Once at least 1 other English-speaking family and 2 other Spanish-speaking families apply with children in the same age/gender category, you will be placed in a group via WhatsApp.
Set your intentions. Plan your habits. Introduce yourselves. Once in the WhatsApp group, a member of our team will walk you through how the exchanges will go, and what you can do to make the most out of the experience. This preparational step is integral to success with the project.
We provide videos and resources in both languages to use for practice. We also provide prompts to share about your culture: music, art, food, nature, hobbies. Language is a means by which you get to know another person, and in that way, it becomes a living entity. Having peers exchanging language and culture is a transformational way to acquire a language, and we can't wait for your family to experience that firsthand!
The Charlotte Mason Way
The question is not, - how much does the youth know? when he has finished his education - but how much does he care? and about how many orders of things does he care? In fact, how large is the room in which he finds his feet set? and, therefore, how full is the life he has before him? -- Charlotte Mason (Vol 3, School Education, Chapter XVI)
