Small Talk Language Academy

Come learn another language and culture in a fun and engaging immersion environment!  We offer Spanish, French, Italian and Mandarin Chinese educational playgroup classes taught by native-speaking teachers.  Our classes immerse students in their target language through music, movement, and storytelling using the Thibaut Technique®, developed by Francois Thibaut the founder of the Language Workshop for Children in NYC.

Classes are 45 minutes – 1 hour long and are offered in 10 week sessions throughout the year.  Free demonstration classes are available.

Through our play-based curriculum students gain a global perspective and obtain skills that enable them to communicate with a wide range of people, appreciate other cultures, become flexible thinkers, and enrich their lives. Visit us at any of our locations throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts to meet some of our outstanding teachers and experience our dynamic and engaging community.  For ages 6 months to 12 years
