Hello!

Nice to meet you! My name is Danielle.

As an American living in France, I know first-hand how difficult it can be to learn a new language.

Learning a new language should be fun, especially for kids! The Speak Spot was inspired by seeing a lack of positivity in foreign language learning in stark contrast to the quick organic development of kids who were exposed to complete language immersion. 

During my first job in France as a nanny and later as a teacher at a private english school, I realized first-hand the power of naturally learning English through playing, talking and doing activities with children.

I realized that when you “play” rather than teach children a new language, they’re not only learning, but you’re giving them tools to use for the rest of their life: new communication skills, self-confidence and an openness to seeing people and things from other cultures. For me that was magical!

I look forward to welcoming your little ones!
